      Pros

      Terrific people, interesting and challenging problems to work on, with amazing collaborators at every level, high impact (huge numbers of users), wonderful work environment (food, space, lack of bureaucracy), awesome to be able to get help with whatever on a mailing list at practically any time of day or night.

      Cons

      C++ can be a pain (coming from lisp). It's good and bad that code changes so quickly that much of what one learns become rapidly obsolete -- and there's a gargantuan amount to learn, so one feels pretty inept for the first few months or more. Then again, it means things get better quickly when broken.

      Pros

      Opportunity for big impact Fun people Can afford to do anything they decide to -- its not a startup experience

      Cons

      Large and growing size means your team and manager are your destiny more than Google overall Few opportunities to grow into leadership positions Some things take too long to get done now that there are so many people to consult before locking a decision
