Pros

Great work culture Great people Work on why you like - you will be judged on impact of the work

Cons

The company and its people have a highly left political bias and it shows up in conversation around the workplace. so how are we supposed to be impartial when treating content or views from the other side.

Pros

Unbeatable perks and benefits: wellness benefit, retirement, 1 month leave once you have spent 5 years, increases every six month, business class travel for long flights, you don't have to share your hotel room like at Google, etc etc...The list is very long. The revenue performance of the company says it all, they are rich and generous with employees. You're really spoiled here. Unique opportunities with an ability to learn on a daily basis, really building up your resume with an ability to fill any gap with new experiences. People are quite protective of their work and don't like others stepping on their toes, as normal, but there is so much to do that you can create your own role and work on the matters that are of highest interest to you.

Cons

No decision making. This sounds incredible, but it's true. Decisions are taken as part of cross-functional meetings where everyone has an opinion and nobody is really driving. Somehow, it seems to work well because decisions ARE taken! But the downside is that it creates a lot of insecurity as people are really freaked out that things blow up (and it blows up quickly here, considering the regular negative media headlines) and that they be blamed. Managers in particular, are very sensitive, insecure and as a result, they tend to micro-manage or get involved in matters they shouldn't be involved with at their level. A lot of dissatisfaction about management all around. A lot of pressure to get the job done. You need to be resilient and work hard on preserving your work/life balance. Company culture is poor - extremely political and everyone is focused on building their career. We all know that having Facebook on our resume will open fantastic doors! It's ok to navigate the politics and survive though..you just need to be aware of it and of the fact that your colleagues will not hesitate to throw you under the bus if they feel threatened!
