      Pros

      Cutting technology company. Exposes you to a lot of new technologies allowing career growth. Management is working hard to ensure better work/life balance.

      Cons

      Very few benefits. No child care on premise. No backup child care. Parking is horrendous and salary is not competitive with other large companies. Monthly oncall is torture.

      Pros

      High pay (for me), challenges, lots of growth opportunity. The people they hire typically can carry their own weight and push you to be a better employee. You learn a lot for your next job.

      Cons

      Upper management is unrealistic, accuse the team of sandbagging, when in reality they are just trying to cover their bottom with prior unrealistic forecast and delays. No ESPP, so despite their "huge" RSU it is not really going to get you a lot more money than you think. No free food, cheap about equipment purchase (delays in development), cheap about early prototyping (delays in development). Stupidity about "Document driven development" and "Amazon writing standard", so you end up spending more time writing document than doing real work. And then when management ask why is the delay you have to write another document to cover your bottom.
