Pros

Fun Environment , Best People , Awesome Management , Opportunities to learn , Easy to switch roles , managers are really competent and not some from 90's . So many genius people around that some times you feel you are not worth of your life. The new campus makes you awww. HR is very cooperative. Efficient departments , not much red tapes , provides developers the bets of the best machines on a day notice , no money issue for such things ,some people has got 200$ key boards and 200$ head phones in past. Management tries consciously to keep developers happy. Flexible hours of work , can work remotely ...

Cons

Not much I can think of ... But company size has grown too fast in last 2 years and some times hiring has not been up to so mark. The people hired before Q1 2006 are much more competitive (not always of course). Company is cutting down expenses on free lunches and dinners but rightly so as dinners were misused most of the time. Some times decisions are taken too fast in opposite directions and have kept developers on feet always to come up with new rapid strategies. Much more emphasize on competition in 2007 onwards so have to get best solution in minimal time and some times there is too much stress due to work but over all it is not that bad because management is cooperative so they give you time off if you have worked some week end.

Pros

The snacks and the cafeteria

Cons

Don't be fooled by the importance of a female CEO. Women do not fair better here than anywhere else. HR is a joke. The company appears shiny on the outside but rotten on the inside. Don't be fooled by stock or paid for "greatest places to work" postings. This is the most poorly managed company that i have ever worked.
