Pros

- smartest people around, very nice and truly awesome coworkers - cutting-edge technologies, very challenging problems - extremely fast paced environment, no barriers for your work and contribution - caring and very reasonable management - little blame if you made a mistake and corrected yourself :)

Cons

- no free lunch, cafeteria offerings are very expensive - no time allowed for professional development, like exploring new technologies, reading/discussing papers or patents, contributing to fun projects - technology decisions are driven not by developers implementing a real thing, but by "architects" who do Visio artwork - not enough chairs in the cafeteria for a rainy day - below average compensation (for SF bay), lack of bonuses (401k) - automotive company has no parking, SHAME! - very high noise level in office space
