Pros

- Great pool of smart people - Great onsite benefits - Lots of interesting projects - Cool company - Great Public awareness and charitable attitudes.

Cons

- Too many promoted for how they promote themselves not for what they do or add. - A focus on cutting the bottom 5% "just because" - Hiring at a level above the actual job requirements which means people are working below their capabilities. - Lots of lazy people who can do so because they have been there long enough -

Pros

delicious food, massages, TGIF/ other nice events, generally smart people (but also many are total weirdos), many engineers truly passionate about products

Cons

unfair/ slow promotions process (if you manager really likes you you get promoted, if they sort of like you you're in purgatorium forever, if they don't you're managed out). boring work. red tape. all big company problems and more. many products competing with each other or duplicating effort. chaos in communication between teams. bureaucracy in order to get simple stuff fone. Disrespect for non-eng functions. declining quality of hires.
