Pros

Touch a lot of services and different code

Cons

Beuracacy slows things down, and every middle manager wants to touch your project. You'll spend time explaining things to managers, theyll ask for a write up, theyll summarize and write it up to their manager, Wasting your time so they look good.

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.
