Pros

Free food, surrounded by smart people, and the tech stack works most of the time.

Cons

An atmosphere of constantly having to battle against the feeling of being inadequate and unclear expectations. Some projects you work on can leave you with no real form of code ownership, which can hamper your progression to promotion.

The company has a culture of expecting you to be your own career consultant and wants you to invent new problems to solve so that you can justify more than just the work you're already doing.
