Pros

Very talented people work there. The product is awesome. The brand and reputation make you feel a rockstar. Salaries are good and benefits above market.

Cons

If you don't build a feel-good relationship with specific senior managers you will not thrive. Nice people that don't do anything are better evaluated than hard working people rough around the edges. Meritocracy is a myth.

Pros

Great benefits, pays well, can work on some very interesting problems.

Cons

Work hours are from 10-7 and hardly anyone actually works that, so stuff can move at a snail pace. Getting help from central teams can be painful, especially if they're way off hours. Some of the culture can get a bit overwhelming too and you can end up feeling pretty lonely if you don't drink the koolaid.
