Pros

Easy to find very innovative and motivating work. Very smart colleagues. Learnt how to write well and express my thoughts.

Cons

As with big companies some parts of the company like Lab126 can have a lot of bureaucracy. Perks are not great. Frugal company. RSUs vesting in 1st and 2nd yr is very small.

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.
