Pros

A company that embraces change better than anyone else, ruthlessly. You can be the source of change voluntarily, with freedom to fail. Great engineering company.

Cons

Company as whole has great vision but deeper into some places: Territorial bureaucracy (roles/teams/org) Loyalist rewards where manipulation thrives WLB trap that works against Innovation, set you up to fail

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.
