Pros

Possibility for some unique opportunities You learn a lot about business and business writing

Cons

Very competitive with teammates, cut throat at times. Promotions are dangled like a carrot, but quickly moved forward as you get close. Performance review is rigorous, must fut into a box Teammates ratings, someone always has to be at the bottom Unrealistic workloads and output for level of work and pay Too much churn in organization structure, change is good but it's way too much. Leadership needs a tune up in attitude. Yelling at directs and teammates is not acceptable. Yet, will preach the proper behavior and won't follow through.

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.
