      Pros

      Engineers have full ownership for their work. You scope it, build it, test it, support it. Feels like a start-up. Laser-sharp focus on real-world problems.

      Cons

      Competitive - often there are multiple teams building similar things. This also leads to corporate politics sometimes taking precedence to engineering. Work-life balance is poor. Stressful and highly-demanding.

      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.
