Pros

Great adventure, experience, and a growth opportunity to work with some of the more amazing people in the industry

Cons

The entire company is built around the idea of a 2-year employee. There is a phrase in the company called "The Golden Handcuffs" - the stock bonuses that mature years later such that you're always leaving something on the table. Benefits, training, bonuses, everything is built around keeping an engineer for two years - and less than 2% of employees make it past that point.

Pros

* Opportunity to do impactful work really quickly * Looks great on the resume. Opens up doors * Very good total compensation for first two years * Seattle summers

Cons

* Lack of empathy for what the constant drive does to employees health and lives * Leadership principals that do not mention employee well being at all * A very negative and confrontational environment that wears on you. * The company doesn't care about employee well being or work/life balance. * Seattle grey clouds almost every day in the winter, spring, and late fall * Seattle slow rain on average every day or other day in winter, spring, and late fall
