      Pros

      Career growth is good. Lot of scale which makes design discussions meaningful

      Cons

      Many times you need to work out of office hours to finish the work as deadlines are sometimes strict. Work life balance is not good and if you feel you have not been performing lately, you feel this fear of being put into Performance improvement plan which basically means you will have to leave the jobs in 3 months.

      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.
