Pros

Good pay Challenging Engineering problems to work on

Cons

Development/Improvement list which is invisible to employees. Only managers can see it and can add anything to it. They often does that to keep you in team. If you try a change, this will be communicated to your hiring manager and almost all times hiring manager will be reluctant. So please managers in ALL means or you will be !@#$%^

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.
