Pros: The people are amazing: passionate, competent, quirky, and interesting. The perks are fantastic. The rapid growth makes it a great place to learn, as you're constantly solving new technical and social problems. You can really own your impact and find the best projects for yourself. This requires being able to argue for your point of view, but learning how to do that is a great opportunity in itself. The company really does care about the users and has a fundamentally positive impact on the world.

Cons: The office is crazy crowded, which can make it hard to focus. Hiring lots of new grads means a lot of time is spent answering questions and trying to train the recruits. Also, the interview load is pretty heavy. People tend to work a lot, so it can be hard to define boundaries and disconnect.

Pros: Good environment to work with.

Cons: It's hard to maintain work-life balance.

Pros: - Great benefits and work-life balance. - Good hiring bar. - Friendly co-workers. - Relatively little office politics.

Cons: They love promoting their work culture and think it's absolutely amazing. It's great if you fall very much to the left of the political spectrum, like the rest of the company (and SF). But if you happen to have a couple of right-wing sympathies like me, such as expressing your admiration for Ben Carson in a team lunch, you will be met with frowns and disdain. I overheard an argument where a co-worker said he opposed universal income, and everyone around him started to argue with him. I'm pretty sure if you said you liked Trump in any way, you'd be out of the building with all your possessions in a box. Also, the co-founders are infallible and worshipped by everyone on the team. Their "Is Mankind" campaign was a terrible, "Emperor's New Clothes"-esque flop, but no one dared to correct them.
