Pros

- Pervasive focus on impact. - Plenty of opportunity to make an impact, as we ship to millions of users on a short cycle with very little red tape. Not afraid to make mistakes, though of course we strongly prefer to avoid them. - Strong overall compensation. - Excellent on-site food options. I eat here at every opportunity. - Fun "work hard play hard" internal culture. Coworkers tend to be "from the Internet". Many lolz are had.

Cons

- Now eating too many sweets because they're readily available. - Sometimes feel like I joined too late (e.g., hear Proposition 30 complaints from coworkers, doesn't apply to me). - Continued growth has decreased the small company feel somewhat. Beginning to develop internal politics. - There is some tendency among some folks to prefer a quick hack instead of the Right Thing in the name of moving fast.

Pros

_Everyone is world-class in everything they do, from PMs to Legal to Engineers who are some of the best around. _The challenges are huge, the impact is vast _Anyone can propose ideas and try them out as an experiment, the best experiments will make it out to 1 billion people! _Free food _Tons of awesome perks

Cons

_Can be hard to manage work/life balance sometimes, but that's mostly because there isn't enough time in the workday to work on everything I want to work on...
