Pros

- Being my first (and hopefully, not my last) time in a "big company", I realized what the fuss was all about. The people are incredibly smart, and that drives you to do better. - Great work environment... small teams, more productivity. Scrums are a great way of ensuring that no one in the team gets stuck in an issue. - Flexible hours (you'll mostly work longer than 8 hours a day though)

Cons

- Sometimes, the work gets a bit too stressful - Developer machines are pathetic (especially the Windows ones). This issue is slowly being addressed, and hopefully will not be an issue for too long. - No pay for working overtime.

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.
