Pros

Depends on team heavily. My manager is very involved (but not micromanaging) and supports his employees. Clear path for advancement and many opportunities to do so. Expectations clearly stated. People are very helpful when you need assistance meeting business goals. Upper management is very available.

Cons

More results-driven than people-driven, which makes sense for a for-profit business.

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.
