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

Pros

About the culture, the best thing I like about this company is transparency. We have company all hands almost every two weeks, and CEO shares with us how the company is doing and we know where the company is heading to. Also there's a lot of learning opportunities here.

Cons

I enjoy working here, there's no major downside.

The catered food in the NY office is not as good as the catered food in other offices. Best I could come up with.
