      Pros

      1. Brilliant People 2. Get to work on projects/product with large scale impact 3. The brand name in industry is good

      Cons

      1. No work-life balance. People who are single and are workaholic would enjoy it in initial few years. 2. You might end up having a boss who is far less qualified than you. 3. Operations are on the head of developers so new product development is always hampered. 4. Employees are more or less a disposable commodity for the company

      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.
