Pros

High Pressure, Learn best industry standards, Good tag value, Very good for learning Design, Learn documentation and organising meetings, leading a project and collaborate world wide.

Cons

Really high pressure, No work life balance, Very high politics people on purpose don't divulge information and all of that is planned. If you are unlucky and get a bad manager, You may need to do their work. Always remember to rate lowest like 1/5 when you want to rate manager badly in connection questions otherwise management would not know. It really works If you rate them low. Try it.

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.
