Pros

Really great opportunity to work with some of the smartest people in their fields. I'm well equipped (knowledge, equipment, independence) to do my job well. Fair compensation.

Cons

High pressure from day 1 to perform - if you thrive in that environment then it's great, but definitely there are others who get in to get out (build your comp/skills then move to a different company). This isn't a company where you can sit back and daydream.

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.
