Pros

It provides technical career path but not you won't get promoted if you don't kiss up. well, it depends who is your manager. Company has very good products, very profitable.top managers have good vision but not the lower managers.

Cons

There are chances you never get promoted even you perform well. The office politic is furious in IT/techops department.

Pros

- Free snacks, drinks, cereal, beer bashes, etc. - Work-life balance, relaxed environment - Great campus and cafeteria - Smart people - Awesome and groundbreaking technology

Cons

- Incompetent upper management - Growing pains - Weak leadership - Office politics/gossip/rumors - Sometimes communication between groups are bad - Starting to get a bit crowded - Very questionable hiring practices. Many teams has been interviewing many talented candidates for a while and have not hired a single candidate. It seems most teams have a bias on hiring only Masters students only, which is hypocritical because the positions list Bachelors degrees as well. Most notoriously, the (UX) User Experience team.
