Pros: You learn new tech every day.

Cons: It will be difficult if you can't adapt to change.

Pros: Great team, cohesive work, and excellent learning opportunities. Good mentorship and a highly encouraging and challenging environment to get the best out of you.

Cons: Too many internal tools and practices. It takes time to immerse into the world of AWS.

Pros: Smart people doing cool stuff in a lot of different areas. Peculiar ways may seem strange at first, but [it's] a great learning experience. Lots of opportunity on paper.

Cons: 1. The constant pressure – not a place if you have a family or any other sort of life. 2. Frugality – used to justify being tight, while burning money by not being clever. 3. Pay – the stock vesting schedule and the 401(k) matching vesting are designed around the assumption you will quit before 2 years are up, so all those promises are worthless. Sadly, thanks to #1, the turnover seems to average at under 18 months. Healthcare, compared to others in the industry, also sucks. 4. Promotion and transfer are really difficult despite what they say. 5. Outsourcing everything to India... helps #2, but nothing else.
