Pros: The work culture is good, with flexible timing. Facilities like a gym and snacks are also good.

Cons: Career growth is slow. You stay in the same position for long. Recognition for good work tends to go unnoticed. Salary is not comparable to IT companies. The company's mindset is as a retail company and not an IT company.

Pros: Competitive salary, 401k matching, and a nice equity package for senior folks.

Cons: Management, technology, bureaucracy, culture, lack of innovation or vision, and boiler-room politics. Reviews are handed out as patronage. Some teams have more project managers than developers. Results and/or achievement are not respected or encouraged. Managers only care about their head-count. They will do anything to increase it. Results and innovation are totally unrelated to all incentive structures. You come here to let your technical chops wither and die in exchange for a decent paycheck.

Pros: You get to see your work used at incredible scale.

Cons: There is a lot of red tape around change control and other engineering processes that takes some getting used to if you've worked at smaller companies.
