      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.

      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.
