Pros

- Learning new skills and jobs - Internal movement and personal development - Fast paced, and a sense of accomplishment

Cons

- Work-life balance if you land in the wrong team or with a bad manager - Managers can _sometimes_ be paper pushers that will keep thrusting work and expect everything to be done. - Risk of a complete breakdown if one cannot handle it, or learn to say "NO"

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.
