Pros

By far, the most advanced and amazing software architecture and internal tools I've ever seen. Great culture, little management overhead, and a ton of really, really smart people. Lots of flexibility in changing projects, lots of opportunities for learning:

  • SDN
  • Linux kernel
  • Switching ASICs
  • Networking protocols
  • Internal tools

You name it. A total "engineering culture" (mottos "do the right thing" and "quality is more important than time to market" are not lip service here). If you like developing software, you'll really love it. (There's even a SW development office in San Francisco.)

Cons

Initial learning curves are longer than usual, but you eventually get there.
