Pros

If you are in a pinch, they will give you a way out. You can also potentially move around the floor to different areas, and there are educational benefits.

Cons

To really move up, I was encouraged to quit and reapply for the jobs for two reasons... 1. they WILL pay better than applying from within 2. they won't always consider qualified candidates. I was previously an airline pilot and I have 3 different degrees, I had to get by and was hoping to move up in the company... didn't even get to interview for ANY of the jobs I had applied for. So much for my computer science degree... Now I automatically get rejected with my resume despite being eligible for rehire. This doesn't seem like the best practice in my opinion.

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.
