Pros

Salaries are competitive (for Labs), great work-life balance if your team is laid back (like mine). The culture is more or less of a typical Bay Area internet company. People are generally nice.

Cons

Benefits are sub-par for a company trying to compete with Google, Facebook; health insurance is something that definitely needs to be considered when negotiating (same selection as store employees). Hiring process is a bit questionable; there doesn't seem to be a ton of concern for culture fit, at least on the Labs side. Labs leadership seems rather hands off; I sense that they are coasting as well, as they are not held accountable for anything important like revenue. The expectation is that you under-promise and over-deliver. There isn't much incentive to innovate.

Pros

lots of opportunities decent benefits/compensation very nice colleagues new building in Sunnyvale is top of line office buildings In order to success in this company you have to meet certain traits,

Cons

despite its IT department, the company applied some harsh policy from store to engineers as well, etc, only get employee discount benefits after 3 months, can only get certain some cheap insurance the same of the store employees, can only have 6 legal holidays per year. the reward system is not about your talent or how much you can achieve but how much you are flattering your superiors, and the talkers got the most rewards. the company culture is dominated by certain group of people with certain foreign culture, whoever are not part of that group inborn will be alienated and treated unfairly. I have heard other colleagues complaining difficult to get promoted here, that is only because you meet one of the following condition 1) your boss is in that certain group while you are not 2) you are not flattering hard enough 3) you are working too hard that jeopardize your boss' limited managing ability 4) you know too much and has certain eagle or ambition inside of you and if you got 2 of 4, you should not count your bonus to be a good or even getting ready to be fired. the managers only care about immediate interests, making judgement based on benefits of themselves. the managers has no sense of righteousness or integrity, I have seen many cases that they encroached x-employees' IPs, how do they sleep well stealing other people's work like that.

- Here , your Manager is everything, if you don't agree with your manager he/she will screw you. - HRs are brainless fellow, who doesn't have any work and they don't take care of their employees. - Company's level is degrading, they are hiring in mass with low standard engineers.
