Pros

The bar is high so expect to feel overwhelmed at times. Amazing colleagues who value honesty and hard work. You can really make a difference if you put the effort and research in.

Cons

There is some organisational bloat and a little too much back slapping at times. Frugality isn't the leadership principle that gets most of the spotlight. Insist on the highest standards is way ahead.

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.
