Pros: It is an unmatched place when it comes to impacting global-scale products from essentially day one, and the benefits follow. I was able to work on backend systems supporting the entire BSP portfolio, and then on two products used by millions of people every month. And I mean really working on them - having ownership, owning the failures, doing the hard work.

Cons: The pace here is very intense, there's essentially no downtime. You constantly feel like you're underperforming and falling behind, and have to actively work this feeling because most people here get way above average/outstanding/unfathomable work done. But it can get very taxing on your mental health - though there's no explicit requirement to do so, a lot of people here work through sick leaves and holidays, etc. Still, if you're up for that I think this is one of the few places that will actually reward you accordingly for the hard work.

Pros: - Great culture - Smart and nice colleagues - Annual retreats in exotic locations - Transparency & fairness - Challenging projects - Good tech stack - Amazing offices with free food

Cons: There is a lot of work, sometimes it is difficult to find a good work/life balance. Note that nobody forces you to work long hours, but it is easy to do it anyway.

Pros: Great colleagues: incredibly clever and always available to help each other. Challenging work: most of the chores that can be automated have been automated, so we can focus on what really matters. Total flexibility and responsibility: micromanagement simply doesn't exist, because for us it doesn't make sense.

Cons: The pressure is on: one has to deal with wanting to always excel. For most of us, this is what we want for our life anyway, but it's not for everyone, and there's nothing wrong with wanting something different. Still, the pressure might be hard sometime.
