Pros

interesting industry, smart hardworking people, everyone is helpful, new ideas appreciated, great benefits

Cons

some teams can be pretty hectic. shipping faster is rewarded which creates the incentive to work longer hours especially if the rest of your team is doing so. promo/raise cycle recently reduced to 1x a year
