Pros

Great autonomy - if you want to jump into a big project, you can often go ahead. There isn't a lot of bureaucracy. If you have a good idea and can prove its value, you can work on it. Cool embedded startup culture embodied in 'its always day one'.

Cons

You are at the mercy of your org. Work experience can be highly variable from department to department. If your director or VP is a jerk, your department can suffer greatly. Sometimes getting people to do stuff feels like herding cats.

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.
