      Pros

      We work on hard problems. I've worked lots of places, and this is the smartest group of people that I've ever worked with. Very data-driven.

      Cons

      Promotion to senior leadership is nearly impossible. The best way to get promoted is to leave the company and come back.

      The sign on bonus was good.

      No cons really. People are people wherever you work.

      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.
