Pros

- Meaningful work - Thoughtful leaders - Work arrangement flexibility - Easy to explore opportunities within the company - Decent work life balance (depending on the team)

Cons

- Base pay lower than other companies for similar roles and same amount of work - Frugality as a leadership principle for employees doesn't make sense in occasions where there is a huge amount of travel and you need to squeeze into economy for 8-12 hours to get to a different geography and are expected to get back work the next day.

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.
