      Pros

      - True agile development - Great option as a first company. Work with some of smartest people you can find. - No team hierarchy. Everyone is heard and their opinions are valued.

      Cons

      - Expectation to deliver in a small time frame leading to hacky solutions rather than long term maintainable solutions.

      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.
