Pros

Ability to transform the world - the scale at which things happen here and the possibility of affecting millions of people is only possible in a handful of companies

Cons

Incompetent middle management that has lost touch with the ground level ICs. Lots of money to throw around on bad PM ideas (supporting those ideas instead of culling at a initial level itself). means bad designs and that often doesnt work well end to end.

Pros

Best experience you could get as an intern. Center of the innovative forefront and provides tons of hands-on work. Approve of management.

Cons

Nobody is willing to go out of their way to assist you with personal projects. Time-consuming and unintuitive tasks given occasionally.
