Pros

The Austin office has a much more laid back culture than the Seattle HQ Comp is awesome compared to other Austin companies and the cost of living Fast paced work environment with very capable coworkers

Cons

Most senior management is back in Seattle which leads to a lot of remote meetings and more flying to Seattle than I would like Missing most of the crazy benefits of other big tech companies The company cafeteria isn't very good

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.
