Pros

Flexible hours on most teams. Lots of ownership. Little or no micro-management. Convenient location in Seattle. Fun, interesting work.

Cons

Can be political... promotions are not given based on merit. Pay is extremely low. Management treats some people like cogs in a machine instead of valuable resources.

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.
