Pros

Looks good on your resume as one of the pioneers of internet technology

Cons

- the managers, worst of the kind I have ever seen. they do not care about quality of the product they deliver. the code looks like it is being done as part of high school/college project. all these managers do is to ask for updates from one meeting to the other. they add zero value to any product. - no real focus on any specific idea or product. focus keeps shifting resulting in half baked products and junk code that never gets cleaned up - absolutely insane timelines I believe all the "good" reviews here are given by new joinees. anyone who has worked for atleast half a year know things are going downhill.

Pros

Great cafeteria! I met some really great people.

Cons

Working environment is stale. People are afraid to speak-up as they might be layed-off - leadership creates a hunger games environment. Infrastructure does not support growth. Products are from 1998. Sunnyvale makes your soul wither away.
