Pros

If you get the right manager, you can have a lot of autonomy and control over your own career path.

Cons

Yearly performance review structure is completely broken. You could be exceeding all expectations and responsibilities of your role, but get ranked "least effective". This means you get zero raise, you're put on a performance improvement plan (not that you need one), and you cannot take a new role/promote for ~6 months.

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.
