Pros

As a software developer, one can always find interesting projects/technologies to work on. Although benefits have been cut a lot, it's still very competative compared to other companies.

Cons

Too much bureaucracy actually makes individual contributors less productive. Also, in past 10 years, the company has invested so much in mobile and search but the results are really unsatisfactory. Hope things will change little bit.

Pros

reasonable stable place. nice benefits. if you don't like the team, or simply got tired of the same old routine/technology/building - generally not too hard to find a different one to work for. free drinks.

Cons

no upside for the stock. your growth depends on your manager(s) and the team you're on, less on yourself. Unlike some others, no free food. free sodas (bad for health). Cafe food quality really not that great.
