Exciting challenges in scale and availability to solve, but benefits could be better
Chance to work with great engineers, exposure to scaling, availability and reliability issues in software and systems, and great senior management who apparently know what they are doing. The stock units aren't bad either, with the way the stock is doing lately.
Heavy on-call load in certain orgs/teams, few benefits compared to Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, etc. Plus, too much emphasis on frugality to the extent of being cheap in too many issues.
They are doing an excellent job with the vision and company direction, but employee satisfaction is very important, and some things could be improved on that front.
For instance, better benefits could be offered.
