Pros

Good complex projects. Tremendous learning. Very capable engineers. Opportunity to build at a global scale that impacts millions of customers. Ability to switch teams easily (this is a relatively new process) is a step towards retaining talent.

Cons

The downside of a micro-services based organization structure with a bias for action can lead to short-term solutions without an over-arching long-term design consideration. Poor 401k plan. Ridiculous stock vesting schedule. HRBP can be very unresponsive (this may not be true company-wide).

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.
