Pros

* Work among talented, intelligent people * Work on exciting projects at the forefront of cloud development * Everyone is inspired and hard-working * Clear sense of company culture

Cons

* You are expected to be an owner, so you can get invested. This sometimes translates to long hours * Vacation policy is one of the worst * General benefits package is one of the worst (401k, maternity/paternity leave, etc.)

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.
