Pros

Huge good quality community. Good dev infrastructure , can spend more time in ideas and business specific coding

Cons

Development in teams closely related to business might not be a good experience. Decisions would be biased for the business and people are very frugal and obsessed with business.

Pros

- Incredibly talented and driven people - Non-existent politics - You learn a LOT every day

Cons

- "NO" work/life balance. It is a great company to be in when you are in your 20s and can spend a lot of extra hours - Every mistake gets highlighted in the review - No credit given for going out of your way to do something (because that is expected) - Very poor (read non existent) perks - Very high churn (within one year I was the third most senior member of my team). This means that you have to constantly pitch in to mentor/train new hires (mostly new graduates)
