      Pros

      - You learn a lot in a short amount of time. - They love devs that know a little of everything, full-stack, infra, ect. - Great pay and benefits compared to most companies (not as good as other FAANG or big tech tho)

      Cons

      - Your manager will make or break you. It doesn't matter if you're an amazing engineer, if your manager doesn't like you, you're gonna go. Run as fast as you can away from that manager as soon as you feel that red flag. - They will work you 120%.

      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.
