Pros

- working with top of the game Hardware -getting to test new technologies

Cons

- the physical security is a joke. it has no idea what is doing. The Physical Security team (not Software security) get to take the decisions on the technical and Operations related issues, but they dont have technical training at all. Because of this a lot of issues and blockers arise.

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.
