Pros

Good insurance benefits, good stock options. Work hours are flexible, WFH times are possible. Nice pay, extremely intelligent people to work around. Company paid happy hour every two weeks (Yes with EToH). If you make a mistake, own up to it and correct it without penalties to your career.

Cons

You write it, you support it (On call to fix it too). Small teams = lots of on call time. Just getting the System Engineer support model in place to take the on call for the developers.

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.
