Pros

Free Food, shuttle, smart prople, other perks.

Cons

There isn't really a lot of room for advancement. When you start at the company, things are great, but after a couple of years you'll realize that you'll probably be stuck in the same job for a long time.

Still THE best place to work

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

freedom to do things you really interested: in addition to 20% time, it is also easy to change projects, and there is no manager 'manage' you all the time, you are on your own most of the time. good salary, bonus and benefits * great coworkers: very smart and nice people, and you can learn a lot from them. * You can sense that the management really want to treat the employees well, their target is to build a great company and serve the world, not just for profit

Cons

somewhat disorganized, so you may not fit if you don't know what to do without somebody telling you grow too fast, not all employees are as high quality as before.
