Pros

Bleeding edge technology and projects Switching teams is encouraged Hard problems to solve

Cons

Management doesn't have a clue about quality engineers. They promote people who they are buddy buddy with, even if they write unmaintainable / unscalable code. They also give out the big projects based on this flawed criteria. No wonder the average time there is about 2 years.

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.
