      Depends on your project and manager; hard to transfer.

      Pros

      See your company and maybe your work in the headlines. Work with some of the best and brightest co-workers in the world. Work with applications that millions of people use and enjoy. Great food, good benefits and bonuses. Information exchange inside the company is quite open, making it easy to find out about opportunities.

      Cons

      Can be hard to transfer to a new project, which can lead to the need to excel at something you don't like in order to earn your way out of it. The opportunities for 20% time are real, but you may not have enough time and energy to make use of them. Management is often hands-off and not necessarily helpful/encouraging. Find peers to encourage and support you.

      Good Place - Lots of New Projects

      Pros

      We work on a lot of really great stuff that is leading the Internet Revolution. We have a lot of autonomy to work on different projects and make our own decisions.

      Cons

      Management is sometimes a little disconnected and the bi-coastal structure sometimes makes it hard to collaborate effectively and move forwards with projects.

      Great place to work, but the contracting experience makes you feel like an outsider

      Pros

      Great perks, work-life balance, little hierarchy, genuinely friendly coworkers, great place to network and meet future entrepreneurs, diverse workplace, LGBT friendly, open culture, smart coworkers.

      Cons

      As a contractor there is a lack of transparency about the opportunity for conversion to permanent roles. Also, many young colleagues complain that no other company recruits so many bright people to then put them in very low level jobs with remedial tasks.
