Pros

Excessive perks, especially food. Emphasis on offsites, travel to the Mothership (for those in satellite offices) after-work gatherings, social events.

Cons

Not a place for introverts or those who value workspace privacy. If you choose to actually go home when you're done for the day - and not hang around or go out for a drink or otherwise spend more time with colleagues - you are met with incredulous stares. EVERYONE has drunk the Kool-aid; no one can fathom that the company isn't universally loved.

Pros

The opportunity to work on interesting and challenging problems. Intellectually stimulating environment. Great perks and shuttle rides make life more efficient. Company is in a good spot in a large market. The CEO has great visions.

Cons

The good, old "open and focusing on impact" culture is fading away. Senior level engineers more and more often have to fight against each other for projects or reinvent the wheels for the sake of fulfilling requirements vs. real technical/business needs. Managers brought in through nepotism have little to none people management experience and skills and brought in negative impact by playing politics. There is no clear mechanism in place to stop these viruses from spreading.

Pros

lots of money and having a top 5 tech company on your resumé.

Cons

it's a soul-sucking new age corporation with promises of making a difference in the world or finding the next "billion dollar idea". Projects aren't set up for designers or a creative process. Their engineering mantras of "hack" and "move fast" will always take precedence, which makes for failed designs and cheap ripoffs of existing products.
