Pros

Whip smart people; A meritocracy where smart people are listened to; They are willing to allocate amazing amount of resources to solve problems. Amazing benefits (food, technology, lectures and other extra activities). Great mix of interesting projects to work on.

Cons

High expectation to achieve. Sometimes what they say the company's values are and what is actually applied don't completely match.

It can be stressful to work with so many awesome people. A lot of people develop an 'impostor syndrom'.
