Pros

The people are all awesome, no matter what team you interact with. All of the work I do is challenging, thrilling, and fun. As an engineer, having my opinion be valued in design and product discussions is very rewarding. Awesome, free food everyday + excellent all-around benefits make me feel extremely lucky that this is my first job out of college. I honestly can't think of any possible better job I could have gotten.

Cons

Sometimes, I have to wait for a free stall in the bathroom.

Tonnes of benefits including free iPhone 6 and Nexus 5, Flexible work hours, Lot of new stuff to learn, Very friendly team with childish behavior to have fun with but great knowledge and experiences to share, great management, management lets developers make all the decisions of new products and features. Great food.

Cons

Since the company is still growing, company re-org is more of experimental, and people either individually or as a team get moved in different location or under a different project.
