Pros

Surrounded by extremely smart people. I mean REALLY smart people. Lots of work autonomy. Get an assignment and I can run with it with little interference. Nice facilities in Santa Clara. Freedom to explore other areas (Deep Learning, VR, etc.). Great benefits package (other than stock). First class medical, dental, vision options. Company really carers about giving back (STEM tutoring, Project Inspire). Company reworking itself and leading in very cutting edge technologies. Lots of $$ poured back into R&D.

Cons

Salary below other sites in the valley. No stock grants (ESPP available at 15% discount). Stock on the rise. Little/no direction in career growth. It’s all up to you to try and figure it out.
