Pros

Great impact. Professional people. Chance to solve complex problems.

Cons

You should be on-call according to a team rotation. As a development engineer you can end up doing more system engineering then writing code. Stressful environment.

Pros

A big and fast growing company.

Cons

Does not care about it's employees. An employee don't have a good way to report the bad performance of a manager. And the manager always blames the engineers in his team when there's a problem although the problem was caused by his lack of professional attitude when managing the team. Horrible politics, make people can not feel happy when working for this company.
