      Pros

      You will learn a lot. You will work with some very smart people on some very hard problems. You will grow and develop your ability to use data for effective decision-making.

      Cons

      You will no longer have a life - expect an intense 8-9 hours of work each day + 3-6 days of on-call each month if you are an SDE (weekends too!) Perks are minimal to nonexistent compared to the rest of the industry. Pay is average. Equipment is outright cheap, and sometimes painful to deal with.

      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.
