Pros

Hires the best. I have worked with (mostly) amazing people. That is one of the biggest pleasures of working here. There are some truly great people who work here. It's a very creative, fast paced company that expects a lot out of the people it hires, which means the people that get through are ready for a challenge.

Cons

I've seen a lot of people get burned out very quickly. Make no mistake, you work long hours and there is always something changing or improving or needing attention.

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.
