Pros

Competitive pay, perks, relaxed atmosphere, great people, culture, organization, the list goes on and on.

Cons

Location. That is the one con, it is located downtown and I am not a huge fan of riding the BART as drug addicts, beggars, litter, etc fill the stations and cars.

Pros

Too many perks to list... Awesome office environment, very 'google'-esc

Cons

Can feel left out of the loop on the high level company direction. Can spend too much time on a product, second guessing decisions
