Pros

Some of the best and brightest coworkers I've ever worked with. Challenging problems in every department. Management is rarely afraid to invest in bold new ideas.

Cons

Ideas and projects sometimes left partially completed. After-hours support burdens can be very high, especially in some groups. Strict open source contribution policies limit what individuals can contribute outside of work.

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.
