Pros

- Tons of growth opportunities. Lots of available training and scopes of work - Great culture - Focus on work life balance. No expectation to work over 40 hours a week (besides when on call, potentially) - Great pay - Extremely transparent promotion requirements and process - Extremely lax WFH policies on every team I’ve talked to. On my team, I WFH every day and only come in occasionally for team events

Cons

- All SDEs are on call sometimes (rotates through each engineer on the team). But unless you’re on a particularly bad team you should be okay

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.
