Pros

Excellent Colleagues who, within project teams, worked very well together. Engineers highly valued and training opportunities are good. Work-Life balance is good.

Cons

Salaries are really low and career advancement is hard work, not a place to make a splash and rise up quickly through the ranks. Company going through difficulties `growing-up' and constant changes to internal divisional structure make company-wide collaboration really tough. As a result of this, all the real decision making takes place through informal channels. You don't really have a voice unless you were there 'in-the-barn' and form part of the founder-myth surrounding the company.

Pros

Clever people, very sound senior leadership, people who care about the people and the industry. Long term decisions made for the greater good of the company and ecosystem. Great benefits - RSU's and Sabbaticals.

Cons

It tends to be such a good environment that people commit a lot of time - it can swallow you up - when things are going well and you are engaged, this is great, when things aren't going so well, this can be more tough.
