Pros: Always be open to new ideas.

Cons: Don’t rely only on yourself to do a particular job.

Pros: Great people, great product, with a lot of new ideas in the pipeline. Everyone is open to ideas and suggestions. You can contribute as much as you are able to, and you are only encouraged to take on responsibility. Teams are extremely autonomous. Benefits are second to none. Lunch and snacks are great! Free beer.

Cons: Lots of teams with their own plans, coordinating timelines, releases, and features is/can be a challenge. You don't always know what other teams are working on and how far along their projects might be. There is no secrecy; you can talk to them, it's just not as transparent as it could be.

Pros: An international melting pot for some of the greatest engineers in Europe. A diverse pool of talents, where everyone is either 10X or T-shaped. Fascinating problems to work on, right on the intersection of Arts and Technology. You get to attend one conference of choice a year, anywhere in the world. Swedish benefits (parental, health, etc.) and the work-life balance are really great.

Cons: - Completely inadequate compensation, with huge disparity between STO and NYC. - Bug-ridden tech stack full of tech debt. - Stock option program benefits only the upper management, with even the oldest employees left with minimal benefits. - No growth opportunities. - Irresponsible HR, mostly interested in scoring another international travel. - Cliques rule the company. - People are hired based on where they worked before, with existing talent passed over. - Hiring from big corporations affects the culture negatively. - Management responsible for the largest engineering mishaps of the past year – the Black Redesign and My Music – ends up getting promoted.
