Pros: worth every minute that you spend here, learning every day something new.

Cons: Management sometimes puts you on big challenges.

Pros: The brand is well recognized. The company is full of intelligent people to learn from. It's a good place to learn about how internet business works.

Cons: The middle management is very incompetent and totally screwed up. They are busy in too many useless meetings and keep dishing out BS to employees. Too much politics. Compensation here is lower than average. Promotions are given based more on politics than actual job performance. Bloated infrastructure and organization. Change is slow and by the time it happens, it is often outdated. Very few opportunities for career advancement.

Pros: Very relaxing atmosphere. Long lunch breaks. Ping pong table. Low stress environment. Nice people. Excellent location. Good holidays, pay, and benefits.

Cons: The job was advertised as a startup job at a cool company with exposure to modern technologies (Clojure, Ruby on Rails, React). The overwhelming bulk of the work was maintaining an incredibly poorly architected codebase in Java 7, written by the acquirer (eBay), exactly as instructed by the US office. Decisions take almost forever to make. Feedback is loudly welcomed and then promptly discarded. The state of the codebase is awful. Static initialization is practiced as a matter of course (for instance), and the configuration is tracked through an in-house built and maintained system. Agile practices are spoken of and ignored. No real attempts at resolving the issues are taken. Any open discourse about the situation is suppressed by management. No new technologies or progress is attempted.
