Pros

I've been at more than a few companies and was initially skeptical, but TS is pretty fanstastic. It's an engineering place through and through. Almost everyone is a developer of one kind or another. The people are very smart across the board with some seriously high highs, the interactions between people are expected to be nice and open (and are -- no jerks allowed), the work is very interesting (lots of big problems to solve for sophisticated internal users in a very competitive space), opportunities for internal mobility are best I've seen by a margin, senior management are super smart, nice, and engaged engineers. Big emphasis on community and internal learning and networking, regular hackathons, talks/presentations/study groups/etc all the time, by both internal and external people. Opportunities for OSS contribution, room to experiment.. And in the middle of NYC. Hard to beat.

Cons

I've been here a year and it's hard to think of many cons. Interview process is tough to pass. It's typically far from rigid environment and there are lots of opportunities, so being a self-starter and self-motivated is pretty much a must.

Pros

Good vision from management. Engineering focused on quick experimentation to prove feasibility followed by judicious hardening and iteration. Excellent co-workers. Absurd perks.

Cons

Management has good expectations of what can be achieved in a reasonable workweek, holds employees to what is reasonable, but talks expectations as if much more is possible. Inbox zero adherents may be disappointed.
