Pros

Easy work for good pay. Lots of career advancement opportunity. Very luxurious compared to other warehouses and very forgiving.

Cons

Not a lot of bathrooms and when you're being time tracked for productivity it can be very difficult to find a time to comfortably go.

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.
