Pros

Great peers and management principles, good salaries, you can learn a lot, work self-dependently, and select your own career path, flexible working (e.g. for home), international atmosphere

Cons

Work-life-balance could be better, pressure to perform, lost the "start up/day 1 mentality" it still used to have a few years ago and is now a large company with decisions being made top down

Pros

Freedom and ownership whatever the task Lots of responsibilities in early stages of career Very talented and motivated colleagues (mostly overachievers) Room for improvement and inventions at everyday basis No micromanagement (very horizontal structure) Flexible working hours

Cons

Lack of balance between necessary effort vs benefits ratio 150% is expected of everybody at all times, severe multitasking with high distraction levels is ubiquitous Very low salary compared to the market average Weak leadership (senior leaders) Not a good place for employees who don’t know how to set boundaries and impose a healthy work-life balance on themselves Slow career development (latency in promotions, difficult to get out of entry level)
