Pros

Good structured career growth when compared to other companies. Rising stock value. Seattle is a decent place to live.

Cons

Could end up with a bad project and incompetent team where you may not develop your skills. Might feel lost in a ocean of engineers. Not eligible for EB2 green card as SDE I. This might become a recurring problem where some are forced to move to another country as they may never get picked in the H1B lottery. Have to rely on public transport to get to work.

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.
