Pros

Compensation, $$$$$$, latest technology, did I mention the pay, smart coworkers,

Cons

CRAZY work hours 12+ on a daily basis, but I guess that's why they pay you CRAZY amounts of money. If you don't work more than 8 hours on a day then you are looked down on, and probably be fired. If you have a family, you will not get to see them that often.

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.
