Pros

Top-notch benefits & perks, top of market compensation, learn a lot in a fast-paced way, huge amount of resources to tap into and learn from.

Cons

-Toxic environment of micromanagement, run like an agency (although it makes sense given the size of the org). -Numbers-obsessed in contrast to being data-driven. -Unrealistic expectations. -Absolute no work/life balance, come in with the expectation of working on the shuttle, after dinner, or even on the weekends. -Information/resource overload. -Mgmt has no empathy or positive reinforcement; trying to cover their tracks and make sure their team is hitting their numbers. They are mostly overseers than coaches. If you're not hitting your number, they'll exploit that, push you to do so, or push you out.

Pros

Huge corporate upside potential (but might not apply to new hires as of 2012). Fun work environment (free quality food, game rooms, frivolity encouraged, etc.). High impact in terms of people using your code and recognition. Good opportunities to try new ideas and move teams.

Cons

Brutally long hours for many, frequent pressure to delay or cancel vacation plans (even outside of release deadlines). Harsh, unjust, and badly cross-team calibrated reviews coupled with frequent firings so that the stick is very close to the carrot. It has now grown large enough that internal corporate politics have seeped in. Management, at all levels, fixated on lots of shiny new features, no matter how broken, and lack of respect for necessary work getting done.
