Pros

Great benefits. Really good compensation. Beautiful campus and generally nice people - for the most part. Relative automonomy given to teams that can be good for a while.

Cons

I wish the company practiced what it preached. The feedback culture seems great when it is sold to you as a candidate but once you are immersed it becomes suffocating and paralyzing. Meetings are a constant. Meetings about meetings. Discussions about doing without ever having time to do. The games during work sound great but make focus very difficult. Add in the open "no office" environment and it is not a surprise that things take forever to complete.

Pros

Great benefits, pays well, can work on some very interesting problems.

Cons

Work hours are from 10-7 and hardly anyone actually works that, so stuff can move at a snail pace. Getting help from central teams can be painful, especially if they're way off hours. Some of the culture can get a bit overwhelming too and you can end up feeling pretty lonely if you don't drink the koolaid.
