Pros

* great compensation, especially when factoring in 4-year vest of real stock shares (RSU), and benefits * lots of opportunities for learning * many engineering teams are fairly small (6-10) and tend to be independently functioning, so it doesn't feel like a giant sluggish company

Cons

* self-service nature encourages everyone to figure out everything for themselves, works well for some people but not everyone * tendency towards "drink from the firehose," from the time you start until you've had enough -- making sure you don't take on more than you can realistically handle is your problem
