Pros

At least in my org, was never expected to work late or work weekends. Worked 11am-6pm, beer friday at the end of every sprint (2 weeks). Learned a lot about all aspects of software project delivery. Huge internal dev ecosystem thanks to the size of the company.

Cons

Company frugality shows in a lot of areas (no catered food, small stipend that you have to ask for for remote office). However, still better than most software companies, but probably not most social media companies.

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.
