Pros: Amazing tech to work with. Good brand name.

Cons: Too much company politics and lack of internal growth.

Pros: The office environment is good in general. Having a big name on your resume may also be good for the future. Most of the colleagues are very prepared technically.

Cons: As the company grows, they are trying to cut costs. Objectives are unrealistically set, and bonuses and promotions are considerably lower. If you work here on a visa, pay increases and promotions are slowed down even more. Mid-management gets packed with responsibilities. The individual contribution is no longer relevant. The general philosophy seems to be "it's normal for people to leave the company," and that happens regularly after every performance cycle or stock vesting time. To counterbalance this, the company seems to brainwash employees with slogans. Posters are everywhere around the office to make "the culture." Many company employees believe and talk with slogans. Life/work balance is simply set to "no life." I've seen managers complain if someone takes more than one week off in a row, or making jokes about family duties the first day someone returns from parental leave.

Pros: Get lots of responsibility, freedom to pursue what you want to, and have high impact. Great place to work, with free food and swag.

Cons: Getting bigger. Remote offices are not as much fun as headquarters in Menlo Park.
