Pros

A lot of the experience will be based on team culture where you are based. I had a great time in Boston and learned a lot, but hit the same learning wall you would at any company early on in your career. There were opportunities to stay in the company and move to a different org, but I decided to leave for personal reasons.

Cons

Depending on your team and its service, you may be stuck in a sort of dead-end product and not learn much or work on new/exciting things. This might be beneficial for some, though.

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.
