Happiest working environment. No big egos. Just thousands of humble smart people.

Pros

People love (and are awesome at!) the work they do. They do not have huge egos. They are kind. They don't need to "prove" to co-workers how smart they are, which is a huge waste of time and energy. Teams here are all-around happier and way more productive than anywhere else I have worked. It is the most functional (i.e. not "dysfunctional") and least political working environment I have ever seen.

Cons

There really are not any cons. Although I do not get 3 meals a day anymore, the food is healthier, and I lost 20 pounds since I left Facebook to come work at LinkedIn. :)
