      Pros

      Great compensation, particularly in the early years (when it's mostly in cash) Working with incredibly talented and dedicated people is inspiring Projects are cutting-edge: you'll be telling your grandkids about them

      Cons

      Darwinian (Hobbesian, even) ethos takes it toll on your personal life: the company will take everything you will give it, and it won't hug you back. Balance is a bad word, never to be uttered It hasn't grown up as a company: this is not yet a good corporate citizen.

      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.
