Pros

A great place for those who are getting started and want to learn many new skills. Employees are encouraged to develop their career goals and take advantage of career growth opportunities. Depending on your team or manager, you might be able to work mostly remotely. Some teams encourage their employees to come in just once a week on a designated in-person day.

Cons

No free lunches throughout the week like Google and Facebook, but some teams will have happy hour once a week, which includes free food.

No free Prime membership, just a 10% discount on Amazon sold and shipped products, up to $100 a year.

Majority of stocks vest in the 3rd-4th year, just something to keep in mind if you don't plan on staying at the company that long.
