Pros

This is a terrific place to work. You are not only working with competent workers, but also with people who are happy and friendly. The business itself has strong growth potential and I do believe that people here believe in the mission. Also, there are a surprisingly high number of female software engineers here, which I think is terrific, considering the general gender bias in the industry as a whole.

Cons

If you live in SF, the commute is a pain... even with the shuttle (which unfortunately only has limited numbers of trips, unlike Google).

Pros

It is a great company. There are a lot of house-brewed open source technology for you to learn. Almost everything you use here is cutting edge so that you can probably work for many others after leaving here. I like that the company is under staffed so that the employees here can choose the big projects and make great contributions. Also the company values relationship between each other so you will feel very respected by your peers.

Cons

Not everybody is a rock star and sometimes the best ones have to do a lot.
