Pros

Brand name. Ok benefits and salary. Voluntary Time Off.

Cons

Too much annoying bureaucracy. Your tenure at the company dictates how valuable your ideas are instead of its merit. Huge technical debt and age old technical stack. Code takes few hours to compile and is terrible. Most of the developers are fresh grads or been with the company for an extensive period of time. Engineering executives are non-technical but have been with the company for a long time. Lot of QA folks have been promoted to Director and Sr. Directors as they did a good job buttering up the executives. Too much title inflation in Product and Engineering. Hectic work life balance in San Francisco HQ. Change in Direction of the Product and Reorgs happen almost every few weeks. Mediocre developers keep on changing groups in the Open Opportunity Market and still survive.

Pros

They pay well. Looks good on your resume. There are some very brilliant people here. There are snacks. The offices are nice.

Cons

I was sexually harassed by my direct manager (who later tried to have me written up for inappropriate conduct). I was repeatedly harassed by my next manager for years. He would belittle me and chastise me, call me out for doing something wrong even though I was the top seller. HR did nothing when I came to them, the head of the department said I "stressed him out" to hear about these problems.

Pros

Interesting work if you can find the right product team. Transferring between teams is easy.

Cons

Vindictive upper management in several clouds. Many rookie managers converted from engineers who don't have a clue how to manage and have no political pull, and just pass all the crap downhill. Don't confront anyone or prove them wrong because they will inevitably go into management and take it out on you. Unless you are on one of the lucky teams working on new technology, the only technical advances you can do will be under the radar, and as soon as it becomes widely used someone will take it over and take credit, and proceed to manage it to death. Research on internal tools is completely suspended, only bandaids on ancient, poorly designed, insanely inflexible infrastructure is allowed.
