Pros: - Pay is good - Strong teammate - Food is good

Cons: - WLB is bad - Peer pressure

Pros: Lots of freedom - you are the master of your own career. You get full credit for your achievements (with the cost of taking full responsibility). Retains its "move fast" culture - you can get a lot of meaningful work done. Smart and proficient colleagues - you can learn a lot regardless of your level! Compensation is fair and sweet.

Cons: Forget about work/life balance. In fact, forget about work/sleep balance. Management does nothing to deal with the problem. Horrible working conditions. Wide and extremely noisy open spaces (impossible to concentrate), tiny desks, lines in restrooms, unavailable meeting rooms. I do most of my meaningful work from home. Management refuses to acknowledge the problem and praises facilities, so no chance of this being fixed. A strong political bias coming all the way from the top pollutes the working climate.

Pros: From the point of view of a new engineer. The culture is motivational. You have a lot of freedoms that come with being your own boss, but none of the crap that comes with it. Your manager gets that crap out of the way for you. People genuinely try to do the right thing and make connecting with friends, family, and your interests a better experience. You get to play the explorer. We solve problems that haven't been solved before. Hackathons are a thing, and they're cool. Free food is pretty cool.

Cons: Haven't encountered any. I haven't been here long, though. I will probably have something useful to put here next year.
