Pros

You'll learn how the corporate world works. The hard way.

Cons

Remember all those nice perks during the internship? You won't get them anymore. No free lodging, no free food, no corporate events, no free tickets to the movies, no work-life balance, no fun. Instead you'll get: an on-call duty (it really messes up your daily/nightly routine), below market pay, stock that never vests and a vague career path. Great deal, right?

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.
