Pros

decent MANGA comp some teams are good, but YMMV some stimulating problems to be solved

Cons

Workplace Politics determining your career progression Cult-like Leadership Principles that you can arbitrarily manipulate to further your own goals Oncall/labor demands outside of 9-5 Often limited by bureaucracy and meetings. Very possible for you to be pressured into work and that work to be discarded by the company entirely.

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.
