Pros

- Bias for action. People want to get things done and make actionable change - The scale enables you to make a difference. External stakeholders want to work with you. - Great work-life balance (although I sense this is different depending on what team you are in) - Some of the smartest people I have ever worked with. I am constantly improving.

Cons

- The meeting culture takes some getting used to (Reading time - google it) - I was hired at a low grade when my performance is compared to other colleagues. This has been acknowledged but I remain at the lower grade.

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.
