Pros

* Get to work with smart people * Get AWS experience any team you're on * Pay is decent

Cons

* Projects are uninspired, get stuck churning out boring features that take a lot of time to do * Management makes questionable decisions regarding the best projects to move forward on * Overworking is expected because of PIP culture * Promise promotion if you do extra work and then take away the promise after the work is done * Layoffs made moral take a nosedive

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.
