Pros

fast learning, edge of the technology, extreme freedom, get to own entire systems end to end, get to see the entire process of how products are developed.

Cons

no work life balance, software developers are not respected in general. Too many hacky things as part of the culture.

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.
