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)

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.
