Pros

Work environment is high pressure with lots of deliverables. Depending on the division you are part of, there are an incredible # of technology tools to get up to speed on.

Cons

The onboard training is minimal. There are some online courses, and many things you just learn by doing or sitting with a coworker. Pretty amazing that there is not more considering this is a tech company.

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.
