Pros

Fast paced development. Great development tools, access to principal engineers and other senior engineers one can learn from.

Cons

Most of the software development managers are clueless bean counters who know next to nothing about engineering, but still love to order people around and do not hesitate to show "who's the boss".

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.
