Pros

Working here is great. Things are fast paced, and that can be overwhelming, but at least you're never bored.

Cons

Because there's so much growth and movement, we're constantly training new folks and still understaffed for our current projects. It can be tough to get everything accomplished.

Pros

Prestigious, lots of exposure to lots of different technologies, freedom to get your work down however works best for you.

Cons

Extremely intense. Very hard for an inexperienced developer to get up to speed. The ecosystem is an enormous house-of-cards collection of interconnected services.
