      Pros

      -The compensation is pretty good overall -Offices have ping pong tables -Fully paid bus pass is pretty nice to have

      Cons

      -No time provided to deal with ops issues, though still expected to as they pile up -Cheap in the name of frugality, dev boxes are hardly sufficient -Projects hardly given real (and never realistic) schedules, and when you don't complete something which you were never given time to you get reprimanded -Managers with out people skills can really drain the life out of you

      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.
