Pros

Great place to learn, especially for junior or intermediate developers. Also, a good place for managers interested in mechanisms that make such a large company continue to innovate.

Cons

- High expectations, work never slows down - Everyone is constantly at competition with each other, as someone will be exited out of the company - Pace can be relentless, and so risk of burnout is high - A senior manager always has to play politics up, down and at the same level, which can be really draining - Career growth opportunities beyond Level 6 are practically non-existent.

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.
