The best company I've ever worked for!

Pros

Great benefits, great people, and exciting work. The management team really listens and actively solicits feedback. Efficiency is a big, and there is a lot of collaboration between teams. People are understanding and very appreciative of the value you provide. There's a lot of opportunity to do a broad range of exciting work and projects. People work smart, and there's great work-life balance to boot.

Cons

There's a lot of trial by fire, and learning by doing. I love it, though I can understand how it may not be for everyone.

Pros

Nice offices, young people, lots of creativity

Cons

Hire & Fire culture, very inexperienced mid-level managemen, zero communication. Fake philosophies (like their code of conduct which exists only in theory). Career opportunties only if you build up the right connections (somentimes in a disgusting way)

Beware

Pros

You get to work at one of the most recognized sites in the world with some really smart folks and pretty cool people.

Cons

Senior management is bad I mean really really bad. The culture is similar to high school so if you haven't been chosen to be a part of the clique then you have no shot at advancement regardless of performance. There is such a profane lack of strong leadership and extremely poor communication, which makes for an awful work environment. Now what you have are unproven leaders who lack the wherewithal to encourage, motivate and LEAD their teams. Morale is at an all time low, there is no proper HR. All of the best people are gone or leaving soon. Sad all around
