Pros

Work with really talented people, work on very interesting and challenging projects, learn how a very fast moving organization works. Lots of decentralization and autonomy gives great flexibility. Can work offsite and on the move easily. Great support and work atmosphere between peers.

Cons

Management is immature and not people oriented - lots of talk about it but not in practice HR goal is to minimize damage and keep management safe Two track evaluation process with no relationship required between the two tracks Very decentralized and lots of practically autonomous teams can also result in chaos

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.
