Well paid Genuinely cannot think of any more pros

Cons

Work life balance Systems that would frequently fail No communication between teams Unsupportive management, I had a line manager who would openly berate and insult me on an open floor office Minimal training, thrown in at the deep end with little to no assistance Understaffed, workload distributed unevenly between staff

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.
