Pros

It's a great place for some one who wants to grow fast in big IT. There are a lot of opportunities to build new stuff.

Cons

Compared to other big ITs, I think the bar is pretty low. So there are great and strong SDEs, but there are also a lot of bad SDEs as well.

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.
