Pros

Lots of teams and relatively easy to switch between teams if you get bored. Decent Engineering bar and pay for big tech

Cons

Not as chill and lacking in cushy benefits comparing to other big tech. After cliff, your pay is dependent on promotions and will only increase to match inflation. Some teams are very aggressive

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.
