Pros

- Everyone is smart, but most are also extremely friendly and willing to help/give advice. - Choose work that interests you, and managers do everything to make sure you are happy - Flexible work hours (choose your own start and end time, doesn't matter how long you're in the office really) within reason - great benefits etc.

Cons

- steep learning curve - very hard to find good documentation when trying to learn about various aspects of infra - a lot of custom systems/tools everywhere, can be overwhelming to new hires - sometimes people move too fast and create projects without enough consideration for effort vs impact - compensation is probably not as good as other similar sized companies for new grads (unless you are an extremely desired engineer with many competing offers)

Pros

4 months paid leave with newborns, work from home Wednesdays, unlimited high quality food, can always walk in the park on the roof if I need some fresh air. Food is consistently great.

Cons

The only legitimate con I have about working here is meeting start times. Meetings go from 12:00-1:00 for example, with the following meeting starting at 1:00 promptly. This naturally leads to people starting meetings late. Also I get withdrawals on the weekends when at home because the food here is so good. It causes me to eat out more on the weekends and thus I don't actually save on my food bill.
