      Pros

      * Good challenging problems to solve. * Easy access to senior talent if you are in Seattle HQ.

      Cons

      * Bad if you get into team with legacy systems * Higher expectations, work life balance is not great in all teams, and weekends oncall is not a great thing. * Off shore teams do not have senior talent * Lot of politics at higher level (depends on team too) * Promotions needs you to be hardworking and lucky both

      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.
