Pros

- Amazing work. Got to work on impactful project with high visibility from the ground-up. - Amazing peers. Very helpful and super talented - Stipend and TC are really good, and I'm satisfied with it for now. - Steep learning curve and lots of opportunities to ramp-up and grow. - The "FAANG' tag def helps. Got more visibility on LinkedIn; recruiters in DM and mail. - Made my parents proud, so that's cool :)

Cons

- WLB: Team dependent but I worked 10 hrs a day during my internship as some of my team members were from different time-zone. Will try to maintain 8-9 hrs in the future.

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.
