Pros

Decent pay, great health benefits/dental/vision

Cons

Long hours 13 hour days w/ 60-70 hour work weeks during peek (October-January (site specific)), 10% discount up to $100 dollars a year, worst 401k policy equating to .50 cents per dollar up to 4% well under industry standard, 4 year vesting on stock, 3 year vesting on 401k. Average employee tenure at company is <1 year across most roles hence you never see 401k or Stock benefits just a lackluster base pay. Unless you can be miserable for 4 whole years you will recoup your initial investment

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
