      Best employer in the world if you're a software engineer

      Senior software engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It's really what it's made out to be. You work at the most relevant company in the world. You make the future. It becomes part of who you are; when you say you work here, people are excited and ask you lots of questions about it. The Paris office is awesome - you get the benefits of living in Europe with the benefits of working for an American company.

      Cons

      Big company. Politics. When you start it's about software. As you go up, it quickly becomes about leading teams and optimizing organizations. Which is not actually a bad thing - it's the natural next step. But I'm marking this here in "cons" because some software engineers might just want to care about the code and only the code, forever.
