Pros

- Great peers - Awesome work, you can set directions for lot of technical initiatives regardless of the level you are at - Work on open source (especially in System Infra group where many Apache projects have evolved) - Great food - Stock with good upside potential (atleast I believe so) - Company cares about employees (many amenities and perks, free classes, and employee focussed events) - Monthly InDays (one was themed around parents in 2015 - BIYP my mom really loved it) - Good compensation and work life balance - Two yearly shutdowns (rather than one at the year end at most places) and unlimited vacations

Cons

- None at the moment - You might grow a bit faster at a startup, but then its a personal choice
