Pros

The opportunity to work on interesting and challenging problems. Intellectually stimulating environment. Great perks and shuttle rides make life more efficient. Company is in a good spot in a large market. The CEO has great visions.

Cons

The good, old "open and focusing on impact" culture is fading away. Senior level engineers more and more often have to fight against each other for projects or reinvent the wheels for the sake of fulfilling requirements vs. real technical/business needs. Managers brought in through nepotism have little to none people management experience and skills and brought in negative impact by playing politics. There is no clear mechanism in place to stop these viruses from spreading.

Pros

lots of money and having a top 5 tech company on your resumé.

Cons

it's a soul-sucking new age corporation with promises of making a difference in the world or finding the next "billion dollar idea". Projects aren't set up for designers or a creative process. Their engineering mantras of "hack" and "move fast" will always take precedence, which makes for failed designs and cheap ripoffs of existing products.

Pros

- Food - Health care benefits - Fringe benefits - Nice campus - Corporate shuttles - State of the art tech stack - Extremely smart coworkers - Visionary and bold top management

Cons

Work/life balance can get hurt as a lot of folks at the office are single and do not understand the needs of having a family. The company is getting bigger. This means more room for backroom politics and aligning people without ruffling people's feathers. Very talented individual contributors (and/or good at politics) are being promoted. As a result, instead of having well rounded managers, you end up having either extremely career driven or super awkward managers. Some of those middle managers are very green, making it even more painful. Some women feel like they have to be extra tough at work because of the Leanin coolaid, making them very hard to work with.
