Pros

It doesn't matter if it's Monday or if it's Friday, a common theme at my job is that the day flies by. I often hear people say "Where did the time go?" because honestly the work is so engaging an enjoyable. We are truly blessed to both do what we love, and get paid well for it.

Cons

Some teams have an on-call rotation where you have to be ready all week to fight major fires that go off. This wasn't exactly communicated to us when we took the job, but prepared to need to carry your lap top with you everywhere for some weeks.

Pros

The entire company is engineer driven. We have our choice of teams and projects. We determine our own goals and targets. The entire company is open. The culture here is the most accepting I have ever seen. Everyone here is easily aproachable. The company greatly values its employees, and treats its them accordingly.

Cons

Everyone here is exceptional, so sometimes you can feel a bit dumb. But you get used to it. People outside the company have no idea what it's like, and believe completely made-up things about us reported in the media, or spread as rumors on the 'net.

Pros

- Moves very, very fast. Individual teams are empowered to ship at-will. - Very open and transparent. Very few company "secrets". Everyone is up-to-date on what everyone else is doing. This leads to almost non-existent company politics. - Great co-workers. Nearly everyone is among the best at what they do, so there is a huge about of trust across orgs.

Cons

- Moving really fast sometimes leads to false starts. Engineers must be prepared to pivot and change course from time to time.
