      Pros

      Compensation and work ethics there are awesome. You will be working in on of the few companies that are are truly doing cutting-edge stuff in computer science, from a engineering and scientific point of view.

      Cons

      If you work in a remote location and end up in a project that is not a fit for you, there is not many oportunities to move to another project.

      Much slower and bureaucratic than what I expected.

      Pros

      - Excellent benefits and perks. - Excellent work environment. - Extremely honest company, strictly follows the laws and regulations. - Extremely capable people. - Awesome infrastructure (servers, network, developer tools).

      Cons

      - It feels like a big company, with all disadvantages of that. - A small remote office does not have as much flexibility or options as the headquarters. - 20% projects? They are most likely 100% + 20%. - Infrastructure sometimes slow you down (infrastructure is the cause and the solution of all engineering problems).

      The best there is the people you work with

      Pros

      Culture of collaboration is embedded in the company's DNA. People around you are really willing to help if you ask. Nice perks all over the place, from good food (b/fast, lunch and snacks), on-site gym and massage to pretty decent health care plan and very aggressive pension plan contribution match.

      Cons

      The cons depend on one's style. Compared to the "average" reference in the market: - Very aggressive objetives and targets, sometimes unrealistic. - Frequent re-orgs (if you think this is a bad thing) - Usually long hours (if you demand a clear separation between "work" and "personal" life, this is not the place for you) - No career plan whatsoever (you own your career path and have to pursue your 'next thing' yourself)
