Pros

Industry-leading technologies, great project and one of the most talented people I had to work with throughout my career. Given the company size, most of decisions are made fast and start from engineers and go bottom-up.

Cons

Work-life balance is not great, while I've never been forced to work over-time, it was alert my choice. Atmosphere here pushes everyone to always deliver more, always raise the bar.

Pros

Work with amazing tools. Have lots of flexibility. Can work on all sorts of problems because the company is so big. Surprisingly good work hours.

Cons

No free food like Google has. Need to be on the oncall rota. Some managers and engineers are sub standard.
