Pros

the company has very nice software tools that ease our day to day work. The coworkers have good technical background, and one can learn whatever they want easily.

Cons

Stressful, needs to carry pager on the rotary basis. The performance review is also hard, especially for those not very sociable people.

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.
