      Pros

      There are many good things about a company this large: lots of opportunities, lots of impact, lots of support.

      Cons

      As the company has grown into a behemoth, it is struggling to maintain any part of its Day 1 motto. Things throughout the company are buried in process and political turf wars. Separately, the compensation philosophy is simply stupid: there is no real connection between performance and compensation (it's overwhelmed by the stock price fluctuations).

      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.
