Pros

opportunities to impact lots of users. interesting work, great people in general. i love going to work every day. customer focused (may be surprising, but true!). huge company with jobs in all sorts of areas, and flexibility (perhaps a bit too much) in transitioning jobs. don't let the negatives dissuade you, it's a great company to work for.

Cons

review process and promotion/bonus awards lack clarity. lack of guidance on career progress. things are very dependent on who is your manager. management in general gets loads of rewards compared to individuals.

Pros

Lots of teams, some of which are filled with talented people and doing really interesting work. Very good benifits, and respectable base compensation for the industry. Definitely a company built by engineers, so you get treated with respected as an IC. Direct technical managers are usually very good.

Cons

Big company bureaucracy and politics. Upper management is frequently out of touch and doesn't communicate well on product direction.
