Pros

People in your team except the manager are very strong in technical knowledge. You get to learn a lot of from these people. They have standard build tools, so you don't have to fight a lot over pitty issues of build process.

Cons

Managers are totally non technical. They have no.clue about the development process. They just bargain on number of days to finish a task. And randomly put you on PIP if you dont agree to their unreasonable delivery demands.

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.
