Pros

Free food and a good variety, perks, fun and competent teammates. The bonus plan is pretty good.

They have a lot of social events, but unlike some other reviewers, I never felt like I was forced to go to them, and I don't think I get labeled as 'ungoogley' because of it.

I feel pretty free to work on what I want to work on, and I don't feel over-managed.

Cons

I spend quite a bit of time at work, but really, this is mostly because I like what I'm working on, and they have better snacks there than I do at home. It's almost insidious.

Advice to Management

I don't know.
