Pros

Lots of smart people. Biggest scale technology problems in the world.

Disorganized. Day 1 culture is an excuse for poor organization. So big it’s hard to network and meet new people. Old school leaders expect in office.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
