Pros

Great place to learn and great people. There's large amount of different projects so you can tap into a huge amount of knowledge.

Cons

On call duties, having to reply to tickets on your shift within 15 min, almost every team have some kind of on call rotation. You're expected to more than your job, you should be able to work as Product Manager, Technical Product Manager and handle all communications with other teams being upstream or downstream dependencies.

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.
