Pros

Efficient company, knows how to monetize. Many great engineers (around 20% in every team) to work with, flexible work hours.

Cons

Salaries are sub par with the best in the industry. Acquisitions cause lot of churn and integration work (versus new development work) abound.

Pros

Managers normally are ok with telecommuting 2 days a week. Work load is not that high. Have a decent gym in HQ. Relatively stable, I have seen a lot of people have worked there for more than 10 years, this is pretty rare in silicon valley companies.

Cons

No salary adjustment for 3 years. Lack of communication on what is going on within the company from the management. Lack of group activities. The company controls the spending tightly. There is long management chain, it's very hard for regular employee to see what's happening there.

Pros

Good benefits and nice friends to support you when you get frustrated with management. Nothing else I can think of here... really hard.

Cons

Too big, you are just a number. Management needs management because there are so many that they need to manage themselves and in the end just few to do the real work. Compensation for people who are here for long time is not fair, it does not keep up with the market. New hires, fresh students get the salary of senior/principal members.
