Pros

The best tech toy box in the entire world. Seriously. I’m doing things that were only dreams five years ago before morning tea. Every day is something new, another challenge, something new to learn, another customer problem to solve. I know that I make a difference every day, and I have a darn good time doing it. Our leadership principles aren’t just a plaque on the door - they’re intertwined in everything we do. Success is celebrated, failures are learned from, and we challenge each other to do better, every day.

Cons

“Self service” culture can be challenging sometimes. Documentation is hard to find and all over the place. Microclimates of information and process are drastically different around the globe (more than just localisation).

Not for the faint of heart looking for a company where you can coast or fly under the radar

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
