Pros: - Company does well. - Good place to start your engineering career (but not in other roles). - Women rule, but there's bias for others. - Good technology.

Cons: - Political, toxic culture - CEO rules by intimidation and COO is weak - Low pay, weak benefits, meaningless equity

Pros: You get to work with highly intelligent people to solve the latest problems that face the Internet. Massive amounts of data pass through the network, hackers launch complex attacks, and global politics actually affect you. It's a truly impressive place to work. Your ultimate goal is to make the Internet a better place. That's just awesome. The office is gorgeous and loaded with great amenities to make your work experience comfortable. There's a great work/life balance, but it is still a startup.

Cons: You could stand to make more money. With massive growth, it's hard to find who has the information you need, which means it can sometimes be a real challenge to complete a task. But everyone is nice enough that it's not a terribly dreadful journey.

Pros: A great place to make an impact. The company is growing at quite a clip, and there are plenty of opportunities to stretch and develop. The culture is flat, transparent, and encouraging. It is very result-focused, with flexible work schedules and locations. Benefits are top-notch, and pay is competitive. My role here fulfills the modern career needs of autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Who doesn't want to help build a better internet?

Cons: As things grow, they don't always run perfectly. If you want a smoother ride, you may be better served elsewhere.
