Pros

The opportunities to learn and grow never end and everyone's opinion is held in very high regard here. We hold meetings to get people up to speed with a project they aren't involved in so they can how the progress is going and give constructive feedback on how it could be done better. I've never seen such inclusion at the cultural level

Cons

Often times the crunch can be intimidating and feel very high pressure. Speaking to your manager about your work-life balance needs can go a long way to helping with this, but if you don't, you could end up easily burning the candle at 4 ends.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
