Pros

Typically you are not micro-managed and essentially are your own boss. ,

Cons

The pay is not that great. Yes, you get stocks, but those have to vest and you have to stay with the company to retrieve them. Depending on your site/location, pay can start between $22-$25 per hour. -- Also, if you do not have a manager behind you and to advocate for you, say goodbye to moving up in the company (if that is your desire).

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.
