Pros

You get to work for the industry leader and be on the cutting edge. Your learn a lot. You are surrounded by smart people.

Cons

Unless you are a workaholic you will have to work more than you would like. You work until you get the job done. There is little praise for doing a good job. That is more expected.

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.
