Pros: Good compensation and benefits packages

Cons: Launch-driven company with top-down management.

Pros: Smart people, cool product, and great perks

Cons: Some of the dev tools are frustrating to use.

Pros: Good benefits and pay. Definitely a cool company to work for resume-wise. A good IPO will be a big payday to employees, but if you don't care much about money, maybe other companies can be more challenging and better for your career.

Cons: Engineering management is really bad. Managers do not pay attention to career growth, given that the career ladder is taboo inside the company. Nobody talks about or knows their position, so don't expect your manager to advise you much about how to go from level A to level B, C, etc. When people get bored in their current position, they either switch teams or branch out into management (lateral moves), which feeds back into the problem where management focuses on reporting green numbers to upper management.
