      Pros

      Work on interesting and challenging technical problems. Flexible hours and generous ability to take time off and work from home. Food is good, perks are generous, office environment is pleasant, co-workers are smart.

      Cons

      Can be difficult to switch projects. Some of the work can be boring. Engineering-wise, it's hard to experiment publicly -- too many eyes watching, too much need to scale. Can be hard to get good performance feedback until it's too late.

      Pros

      Whip smart people; A meritocracy where smart people are listened to; They are willing to allocate amazing amount of resources to solve problems. Amazing benefits (food, technology, lectures and other extra activities). Great mix of interesting projects to work on.

      Cons

      High expectation to achieve. Sometimes what they say the company's values are and what is actually applied don't completely match.
