Pros

looks great from outside but the company culture leaves a lot to be desired. Google for a business insider article on what it is like to work at this secretive company. it captures quite accurately what goes on Might still be a good place for junior engineers straight out of school to grow their initial careers

Cons

lot of technical debt and poor architecture decisions everywhere. top down decision making with a flavor for micro management across the entire chain of hierarchy. senior engineers are not empowered and trusted. working from home is frowned upon. Too many first time managers with no clue on how to grow engineering careers

Pros

You work with the coolest people in the Los Angeles area! Teammates are usually helpful and responsive.

Cons

It's highly secretive company. You sometimes read new features on the headlines.
