Pros

It is definitely a great company to work for. Despite it's size it remains an engineer driven company with hugely talented people that are driven by a wish to excel. Coupled with one of the best tech culture and tools I have seen, it is a great company to learn and grow.

Cons

Your growth and learning hugely depends on which team your work for. The work can range from highly innovative to hugely monotonous. Make sure you choose wisely. The pace of work can be frenetic but that can be a high for some.

Pros

There are not many companies out there that provide the opportunity to build and operate software at this massive scale. The results are changing the way IT works, forever. People are smart and nice. There are national and international internal job opportunities left, right, and center. Compensation is competitive. The more senior the role, the more compensation relies on stock, which is great right now. HR processes continue to be improved. For example, the performance review and promotion processes were streamlined substantially.

Cons

The pace is fast. Teams and people generally have more work/opportunities than they can handle, so everyone needs to prioritize. When living in Seattle, house prices and traffic can be issues.
