Pros

Compensation, $$$$$$, latest technology, did I mention the pay, smart coworkers,

Cons

CRAZY work hours 12+ on a daily basis, but I guess that's why they pay you CRAZY amounts of money. If you don't work more than 8 hours on a day then you are looked down on, and probably be fired. If you have a family, you will not get to see them that often.

Pros

The company has some amazing engineers and a few good development managers. They'll provide nice new Macs for work as well.

Cons

Impossible to advance with the limited number of grade levels; senior management really doesn't want people to be promoted to any of them. Very high turnover of SDEs. Give serious consideration to not working here if you are mid-career.
