      Amazing.

      Pros

      The openness, inclusion and excitement that we all feel every day. This is truly a company where the people are without a doubt organized more around the mission than their own personal interests or potential gain. We are here because we want to change the way the world works, and the fact that we get paid to do it is amazing.

      Cons

      It's not a "job" - in many ways it is a life. Long hours are the norm. Hard to completely consider this a con, though, as many of those long hours are spent working on stuff you love with people you admire and befriend.

      Fun at the engineer to engineer level, but brutally long hours and badly disconnected front-line management.

      Pros

      Huge corporate upside potential (but might not apply to new hires as of 2012). Fun work environment (free quality food, game rooms, frivolity encouraged, etc.). High impact in terms of people using your code and recognition. Good opportunities to try new ideas and move teams.

      Cons

      Brutally long hours for many, frequent pressure to delay or cancel vacation plans (even outside of release deadlines). Harsh, unjust, and badly cross-team calibrated reviews coupled with frequent firings so that the stick is very close to the carrot. It has now grown large enough that internal corporate politics have seeped in. Management, at all levels, fixated on lots of shiny new features, no matter how broken, and lack of respect for necessary work getting done.

      Pros

      - Super smart people to work with - again, super smart people - people are young and dynamic, always willing to help. No question is too dumb to ask, people aways help you. - everybody working toward the same goal: making the company move forward. - lots of resource, easy to get machines allocated - freedom to work on projects that you like - food is awesome

      Cons

      - very challenging. - lots of work - long hours - not always clear communication from managemenent. - lots of koolaid and internal propaganda. - little recognition. Not too surprising, everybody's doing awesome stuff.
