Pros

We work on hard problems. I've worked lots of places, and this is the smartest group of people that I've ever worked with. Very data-driven.

Cons

Promotion to senior leadership is nearly impossible. The best way to get promoted is to leave the company and come back.

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.
