Pros

Everyone you work with is amazingly intelligent. Work and technology moves at a fast pace, so you're always challenged to learn and become efficient at every task.

Cons

Little appreciation for employees and no recognition for the wins you have. Very difficult to have work/life balance as you have multiple responsibilities and projects that get piled on. Due to this being an online environment you can rarely "unplug".

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.
