Pros

Really good technology stack if you are either a junior developer or just coming out of college.

They even have a SEP program (software engineer program).

They have a very good 401k and a company stock purchase program.

Cons

For senior developers, it is not recommended, in my honest opinion. Based on personal experience, the company prioritizes junior developers at the expense of the senior ones. Salaries are below the market.

If the POs or your manager, for some reason, do not like something you said, they will create a "vacuum" around you and sort of "leave you out" so that you feel uncomfortable until you decide to look for another job. So, basically, you can go from a "superstar developer" to a "pariah developer" in no time, and you are left wondering what you did.

They create a sort of discriminatory system based on both titles and friendships. It appears that people with the highest titles have more say, and others are left out.
