      Pros

      * Very smart, hardworking, enthusiastic coworkers: The software engineers here are the best in the world * Lots of independence for software engineers: We do a lot more than just implement specs, especially with hackathons and hackamonths encouraging people to work on things outside of their area of expertise * Great benefits and salary: 5 different kinds of free food on campus, free laundry, snacks, generous parent benefits, etc.

      Cons

      I can't think of any significant cons.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - I feel like my success is bounded by my own abilities, not by management or corporate politics or something - Work time is *super flexiblie*. I generally work 10-6pm or so, work from home on wednesdays - Food, laundry, etc.. at work - Coworkers are awesome, all really excited about the product

      Cons

      - Don't like the area around campus - Wall art could be better

      Be bold and try things out

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Fun, engaging workplace - Engineering-driven tech company - Encourages employees to be bold and try things out - Values ideas and their implementation over employee seniority - Bottom-up decision making (allows employees to determine how they can make the most impact)

      Cons

      - Competitive environment - Sharp drop-off in compensation for new employees - The focus on moving fast often means that the company spends a lot of time going backwards or iterating. This can be frustrating or exhilarating depending on whether you see the iterations as unprincipled or a necessary component of shaping a product that a billion people find useful.
