Pros

Lots of smart passionate people. A variety of opportunities from consumer to enterprise. You probably have as wide a variety of opportunities in the tech field as exist at any single company.

Cons

The stack ranking was corrosive to the culture. Still need to see if the new system is better - it can't be any worse. Cross group collaboration used to be difficult as empire building was the name of the game but this also seems to be improving under the new leadership.

Pros

Good salary and benefits. Good experience.

Cons

You have to work day and night to get promoted. It all depends on luck, if you get lucky and ended up under a good manager, your life will be wonderful. Even with you a good manager, You have to keep improving and keep pushing and working very hard to stay in the company. If for any reason you ended up with a bad reviews, you are screwed... Very hard to move to another team. People sometimes go through bad time and ending up not performing well , right? will forget that in this company.
