Pros

- Huge impact from day one - I got to own pretty large projects almost as soon as I joined, and the amount of trust placed in employees even from the first few weeks in bootcamp is amazing. - Exciting work environment, I work with some of the very best people I've met in the business every day - Real start-up feel and anxious to keep it that way. There's a lot of attention paid to the culture of the company - Things really do move fast. It's really motivating to see the results of your efforts get adopted so quickly - Great support from management - Fun @ work, many great perks. Lots of free food, and a gym to work it all off.

Cons

High workload mean that you have to be pretty motivated to enjoy it. On the flip side that's mostly self-driven - I certainly end up working a lot not because I'm pushed to but because I want to see my project succeed.

Pros

Perks are so great (3 meals a day 5 days a week, microkitchens, ping-pong, no set hours, they do your laundry for you, etc). You're given a good deal of freedom in what you choose to work on. You have huge impact (you push code to a billion+ people weekly or even daily).

Cons

Expectations are pretty high (this isn't necessarily a bad thing). It's a software engineering gig so work is somewhat isolating, but no more so than any other similar job.

Great place to work

Pros

Very exciting place to work. High visibility and impact. The company is very open and transparent about it's workings. I feel like they treat me like an adult, with the expectations that I'll act like one.

Cons

I work in a remote office (Seattle), and find that the culture here is different than in the main office in Menlo Park. I think more could be done to migrate the culture to the remote office. I'm also concerned that if growth (# of employees) is something we seek to maximize, and something we measure success against, then we jeopardize the amazing culture that has been so well cultivated.
