Pros

You can grow your career, both vertically and laterally. You can bring your dogs to the office!

Cons

Be prepared to be underpaid a couple of years in against new hires. The promotion and performance review process is fairly subjective with little to no transparency - it really depends on whether or not you end up with a great manager. But, a great manager is a needle in the haystack.

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.
