Pros
  • Friendly, smart people.
  • Interesting work and the ability to work on exactly what interests you if you drive for it.
  • Relatively good work/life balance in comparison to some competitors.
  • I am a fan of the newer open workspaces.
Cons
  • It's huge, so experiences across teams can be quite different. Again, it largely comes back to who your individual manager is.
  • As with big tech companies, career progression can be slower than, say, a startup, due to competing with a lot of other smart people.
