      A fantastic place for a software engineer to work.

      Pros

      The entire company is engineer driven. We have our choice of teams and projects. We determine our own goals and targets. The entire company is open. The culture here is the most accepting I have ever seen. Everyone here is easily aproachable. The company greatly values its employees, and treats its them accordingly.

      Cons

      Everyone here is exceptional, so sometimes you can feel a bit dumb. But you get used to it. People outside the company have no idea what it's like, and believe completely made-up things about us reported in the media, or spread as rumors on the 'net.

      A joy to come to work everyday.

      Pros

      - Moves very, very fast. Individual teams are empowered to ship at-will. - Very open and transparent. Very few company "secrets". Everyone is up-to-date on what everyone else is doing. This leads to almost non-existent company politics. - Great co-workers. Nearly everyone is among the best at what they do, so there is a huge about of trust across orgs.

      Cons

      - Moving really fast sometimes leads to false starts. Engineers must be prepared to pivot and change course from time to time.

      The best large company you'll find

      Pros

      * Great benefits (medical, pto, etc) * Flexible hours * Lots of food options, free drinks, etc. All usually very good * Smart people * Open culture * Great coworkers

      Cons

      It's still a big company. With that comes some of the big company downsides. Being smart politically can advance your career. If you keep your head down and just do a good job it's less likely to be noticed. For example, I see good engineers not going anywhere with their career even though they do good work, while I see average ones advance up the ranks if they make it a point to post in FYI for every feature they create. You also have less of a chance to make an impact as a new hire since you're more likely to work on existing features rather than new ones. If you joined about a year ago, your stock grant was over valued (by about 2x), so you're making a lot less than if you go to another company. None of the cons are unexpected at a large company. If you're looking to work for a larger, post IPO company, then you're not going to do better anywhere else.
