Pros

Agile development means that you can get your code out quickly and into productions. Some Leadership Principles such as Ownership and Dive Deep are really valued by every person in the organization, and with these values in mind really helps you grow.

Cons

Some Leadership Principles such as Frugality do not make a lot of sense for small things like free snacks and drinks. The feeling for the work environment really depends on the team that you are working on. Some teams have very bad political bias or leadership management.

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.
