Pros

- Decent benefits for a tech company including good health care and commuter benefits - Fast and innovative projects - Great opportunities to own projects on multiple levels - Decent career growth

Cons

- Women typically make less than men - Knowledge of certain systems and seniority are valued higher than treating people with respect (as in someone can call your ideas stupid or you ignorant as long as their justification behind it is fine) - Subpar benefits compared to other big name companies

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.
