Pros

Wonderful casual atmosphere, and an extremely employee centric company

Cons

The hiring standards for language experts is almost too high. It takes too long too hire people and exisiting people (eventhough they are told the team strength is sufficient) work OT for weeks on end. Any paperwork takes way too long. Contract extension of employees happen months late without notification

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.
