Pros

Amazing opportunities to grow and challenge yourself. Have seen many peers rise through the ranks and find roles on widely different teams. Pay is good, and stock has done well for the last four years.

Cons

Technology limits the ability to do cool things fast. Sometimes feels more like a bank than an Internet company. Growth rates are slowing. Re-orgs are so frequent that strategies rarely get a chance to take hold.

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
