Pros

Perks, Food, Offices, Great People on average, good benefits, great products, innovation everywhere you look,

Cons

Bad managers can ruin your experience (as it's the case everywhere). People management initial layer is often chosen by wrong reasons. Thus these folks can't effective lead, and teams end up avoiding taking risks and innovating.

Pros

Great work environment, flexibility around your work location and hours (depending your role and manager of course), amazing teammates, and good compensation.

Cons

Promotion and internal mobility are extremely difficult. It's very restrictive system attempts to preserve the integrity of a honest performance reviews but ends up ranking employees in what sometimes could end up in an unfair evaluation. Think of it like a curved grading system in high school or college.
