Pros

Good compensation, varied and fun job possibilities. You get to work with a lot of smart people every day. It's good to work at a place that is well known so you don't have to explain where you work to everyone you meet.

Cons

Job promotions are hard to come by, and seems to be dependent on knowing and talking to the right people. Hard to advance as a software developer if you just want to be a skilled coder.

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.
