Pros

Many people with great experience to share, many people with high energy to get things done! There's a sense of mission and devotion to quality. Office culture and policies constantly being reviewed to make things better.

Cons

So many things to do, you have to learn to keep focus. Open Office setup takes some getting used to.

Pros

Fast moving and innovative with lots to do. Great perks with the usual free lunch, snacks and shuttle. Rapid expansion leaves plenty of room to grow your career.

Cons

Sometimes the pace is a little too fast combined with short term thinking. There is a big clash between the pure startup mentality people and corporate people that are being brought in which can be unproductive. While moving 'fast' decision making can be rather slow as you need way too many people in on the decision.

Pros

I absolutely love this company. - They've done an amazing job hiring people who are not only incredibly talented but also a blast to work with. The culture is focused and supportive. - If you have the ambition, there are opportunities to match it. I've seen people make entire careers here in the span of a couple years. - Empowering management style. You're trusted to exercise good judgment and make your own decisions. - Experienced senior staff. SVP Engineering ran Google Apps for several years and is extremely sharp.

Cons

- The company is growing extremely fast, so occasionally people get moved into leadership positions who shouldn't have been and it takes too long to move them out. - While people are empowered, they aren't always held accountable. The company has some growing up to do in that sense. - There is a lot of technical debt which can be pretty frustrating at times (but also means that most things are getting rewritten, which can be quite fun to do).
