Pros: Some excellent engineers and techs. Having an unlimited budget. No door policy, and you can message or call anyone you want. Access to all parts of the company and the most amazing ideas becoming reality.

Cons: Managers use metrics to show themselves and promote their own careers. They will throw you under the bus in an instant. Keep your opinions to yourself and your friendships elsewhere. It is a very clique culture and you never know who is who. Top level management is amazing, but some of the local managers are basically analysts who self-promote their agenda.

Pros: Excellent and unmatched empowerment, freedom, and lack of bureaucracy. Smart and helpful people at every corner. Great pay when considering stocks.

Cons: Be ready for extreme pressure to deliver on things you've never done before and have little to no time to get up to speed learning. It can be very stressful and very difficult to perform at a high level compared to others. You can survive at the company with good work, but the only way to thrive is to go extremely above and beyond, which is a hard task when everyone is doing exactly that.

Pros: Good people, high visibility, and ownership

Cons: Long hours, and workload fluctuates a lot.
