      Pros

      Talented people, downtown/near-downtown location. Different teams can feel very different. But overall they hold similar culture. If you are lucky and find a reasonable team, you might be able to enjoy it. But not so much for other teams.

      Cons

      it's better to be a customer than an employee. no work life balance. management expects you to work late. uncompetitive compensation. on-call. political issue. This can be nasty sometimes.

      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.
