Pros

Work with smart, driven people, get paid extremely well, and for company growing at an amazing rate.

Cons

Cash-bonus (at hire) and stock grants all are structured to keep you here through thick and thin. Take risks/chances on stretch-assignments at your own risk -- your manager will not be there to support you when you come up short, even if he/she has bought into all your progress steps. All part of the shoot-the-messenger culture. HR is without a spinal, echoing whatever ego-driven conclusions your management group has.

Pros

Surrounded by smart, talented, hard working people. Decent pay, good locations in Seattle, moving to a new 11 building campus soon.

Cons

Most people are overworked and on salary so the good pay kind of evens out. Nerdy culture leads to a lot of people just working with their heads down.
