Pros

Work on interesting and challenging technical problems.

Flexible hours and a generous ability to take time off and work from home.

The food is good, the perks are generous, the office environment is pleasant, and the co-workers are smart.

Cons

It can be difficult to switch projects.

Some of the work can be boring.

Engineering-wise, it's hard to experiment publicly -- too many eyes watching, too much need to scale.

It can be hard to get good performance feedback until it's too late.
