You get to work with some really awesome people, passionate about what they are doing The culture is the best part about the company, though some who have lost their ambition are able to stick around for longer than they should Feedback is open, but sometimes ignored

Cons

Work-life balance is really hard to have on some teams The pay is really bad, some people are being extremely underpaid in exchange for culture High turnover due to these issues

Pros

Great benefits, pays well, can work on some very interesting problems.

Cons

Work hours are from 10-7 and hardly anyone actually works that, so stuff can move at a snail pace. Getting help from central teams can be painful, especially if they're way off hours. Some of the culture can get a bit overwhelming too and you can end up feeling pretty lonely if you don't drink the koolaid.
