Pros

Great work environment, perks, free food, etc.

Product engineers work directly with world-class designers.

A/B experimentation and data analysis tools make feature development fun and addicting.

Middle management is held accountable by their reports.

ICs can still have a large impact on product.

The company makes an effort to take care of its employees.

Cons

The company is growing fast, so expect frequent organizational changes and restructuring.

There is no 401k match.

The campus is spread between multiple buildings across blocks.

Advice to Management

Speaking as an engineer, the "Is there an engineer in the room?" signs in every meeting room seem a bit over the top and go against the knitting culture where people in all roles are treated with respect.
