Pros: The people: smart, empathetic, friendly; it is fun and motivating to work with leaders in their fields. Management: inspires faith in the direction they are taking the company, encourages stretching your comfort zone, is adaptive to circumstances, offers clear leadership while also being open to feedback. The work: challenging, ambitious projects. The tech: maintains several very active open source projects, including Apache Spark, and carefully adopts new technologies where it can provide long-term benefits. Growth trajectory: The company is doing really well financially, and you get to see how companies of this scale grow as fast as possible.

Cons: Can be stressful with lots of work to accomplish under sometimes strict timelines, especially for larger projects.

Pros: Amazing talent: A lot of people in leadership and senior IC positions are ex-Google and ex-Facebook. I have worked at other large tech companies, but I have never seen such a concentration of talent in one place. Compensation: one of the best in the market. Tech driven: All the founders are extremely technical and they understand technology from bottom to the top. The same goes for middle management. It makes it much easier to have conversations with the management or anyone in leadership. They understand the ground reality. Interesting challenges: If you like to get yourself challenged, this is the place to be.

Cons: As the company is growing, so are the number of processes. Sometimes these processes can slow you down in the short run, but they are in place for the long-term velocity and so that we make the right choices.
