      Pros

      good food, fun activities, ok salary

      Cons

      no space (people shoved together in cubicles) that are inches apart, petty management style, no real room for growth if you are not an engineer. Co-workers encouraged to spy and report on each other as part of the job.

      Pros

      A lot of the coworkers are extremely smart. You are given lots of responsibility and you have the ability to work on new and exciting products.

      Cons

      Although it is not formalized, many people work long hours. Also, it is easy to feel overwhelmed or even out-of-place in the office. The standards are very high.

      Pros

      Benefits are the best. The work is fun and challenging. "Work the way you live" allows one to work from anywhere, anytime and using any device.

      Cons

      Long hours and stress can be high if you allow it to be so learning to pace yourself is important.
