      Pros

      Good pay, great name to have on your resume. You learn a lot, meet a lot of super talented people.

      Cons

      Pretty traditional, annual planning, annual 'brutal' talent reviews. unregretted Attrition targets. Writing culture isn't for everyone. Need to drink the Leadership Principles and buzz-word kool-aid to get on. Everyone is scared of not being 'the best' so focus is totally on "Insist on the Highest Standards" at the cost of "Bias for Action" ;-)

      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.
