Pros

Fast-paced. Great collaboration here. Good sense of fulfillment. Benefits are also a huge plus, especially with the new Perk-Up program. Reimbursement for various activities of our choice, including fitness classes, gym memberships, pet care, and child care. Food is amazing at the Mountain View and Sunnyvale offices as well. I've only been here for a total of 7 months but it's been amazing thus far.

Cons

Not enough fellow gamers. Hard to find groups of people with similar interests.
