Pros

Challenging, you get to work with very smart people, get to work with latest technologies, awesome infrastructure and development tools (continuous deployment, monitoring, very helpful internal wiki, you name it)

Cons

If you are not careful you can burn out easily, some teams are having rather unmanageable devops loads, some things can be frustrating, for example some of the aws features are much easier to use if you are external customer

Pros

You will get to face almost everything you were looking for, technical exposure, customer feedback, fast pace

Cons

Management is not matured and always end up doing micro managing rather than focussing on the most burning issues.

Pros

Focused on results. Strong business. Diverse business. Lightweight development process. Lots of smart people. Great benefits. Great pay. Seattle is a great city to live and work in.

Cons

Seems hard to get rid of bad people. Some groups are better than others. SDE leveling has too few steps. It's hard to go from level 2 to 3.
