Pros

Lot of challenging work and there are lot of avenues to learn from. One of the best places to keep up with the latest trends in the Internet world.

Cons

Very much a sales company. Work life balance is bad. Middle management struggles managing folks at the field level.

Pros

Great insight into internet: how it works, it's challenging and opportunities. Great culture: friendly, team oriented and fun. Ample of opportunities to geek out and be creative.

Cons

The pros out weigh the cons (if there were any). No cons from my side. Keep doing what you are doing.

Pros

Fantastic technology and an equally encouraging environment to brings ideas to the table. They are remarkable in how a billion dollar company can do so much to feel an individual contributor feel empowered to make an impact.

Cons

They can sometimes default to being a little too conservative financially, but they are very open about communicating with employees. The Quarterly All Hands meetings put the cards on the table and they are always previewing technical products that are around the corner.
