Pros

Challenging work - which means you learn a lot. Somewhat of an open door policy, where you can talk to senior management. High level of responsibility but equally rewarding financially and professionally. Lots of smart people.

Cons

Too many meetings that sometimes seemed like a waste of time. A lot of known issues that have not been fixed for long periods of time really surprised me. Almost everyone is overworked, putting in over 40 hours a week. Probably closer to 50, and especially senior management. Sometimes there was lack of direction, so you have to figure things out for yourself.

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.
