Pros

FLEXIBILITY, FLEXIBILITY, FLEXIBILITY

Work on what you want. Work when you want. Work where you want.

Very flexible schedule. I generally come into the office at 1 p.m. Sometimes I leave at 10 p.m., sometimes I leave at 2 a.m., sometimes [Fridays] I leave at 7 p.m. Sometimes I work from home. Sometimes I work from Hawaii.

Excellent opportunity. I was promoted within seven months of starting.

Super flexible management. I told my manager I wanted to work on a new [my own] project; he immediately said, "Go for it." I've been working on it full-time for 1.5 months. I told my manager I wanted to move to Seattle. He said, "Okay, look for a team up there."

Awesome food. Awesome amenities.

Smart people. Learn from the best.

Cons

Not as much opportunity for [company] growth as what you'd get at a startup.
