Pros

Pay is great, and there are opportunities for career growth if you're willing to put your work above your personal life. Your colleagues are some of the best in the industry.

Cons

On-call work means waking up multiple times a week to fix issues during the night, working on messy legacy code, everything is always on fire, a lot of stress, and poor work-life balance. Their employer turnover rate is horrible for a reason.

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.
