Pros

- RSUs are pretty good with the stock price. - Ability to move around or move up in the company - Work with some of the smartest people you’ll encounter

Cons

- There’s a lot of “kool-aid” drinking at this company they push their leadership principals every chance they get but those same leadership principals are dropped at the first sight of inconvenience when something doesn’t work in their favor - Also be sure to come in at a higher salary because if you do promotion increase for base pay is a joke

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.
