Pros

Benefits are great. Lots of smart people. Great opportunity to learn a lot of new things. Flexible working hours (usually).

Cons

Everything is too urgent. We're too busy being scared of Google to do anything really cool. Review system is too opaque.

Pros

Great opportunities for growth and the benefits and pay are amazing. It is a very flexible workplace if you want time off or want a flex-schedule. I know many people who work from home one or more days a week. It is also a very diverse workplace which promotes interesting conversations and expands your own cultural knowledge.

Cons

It is a competitive workplace so you need to be aware of the intentions and motives of some of your coworkers. This is definitely more of a problem in some departments than others. Personally, my division does not have any problems with this but I have heard stories from friends. Another con is that in some divisions the senior management is not very effective at communicating their leadership and decisions.

Pros

Best Reasons to work: * Challenging and interesting work. * Very capable teammates and dev leads; lots of opportunities to learn and grow * Relaxed work environment; set your own hours, get free drinks and coffee, wear whatever you want. It doesn't sound like much, but it helps make the work environment a lot less stressful. * Tech Talks and Courses you can take to learn more about programming

Cons

Food isn't as good. There are cafeterias serving food, but they could definitely be serving better quality or more variety.
