Pros: Working on world-class problems can be incredibly rewarding.
The staff is incredibly intelligent, and you'll find yourself learning a lot.
Even though perks are being cut back, they are still much better than others.
Middle managers don't micromanage, so you get to work mostly on your own.
This may be a negative or positive, depending on your attitude to work.
Cons: Cutbacks are masked as "being more green" or "complying with Mountain View."
Founders are involved in just about every major launch decision, and projects live or die depending on their whims.
