Pros

A few years ago, the best reasons were because it was exciting. The company was at a make or break point and I had a chance to make a difference in the "make."

Cons

Loads of face time with little getting done by most. Very limited opportunity for advancement. Lots of middle management that claim credit for the work their staff did - including BRAIN POWER. This is one of the most frustrating things.

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.
