Pros

Business is highly profitable. Beautiful offices. Brand name great on resume. There is not much else to say in this section.

Cons

little thought given to employee development. Being a sub to a giant that is PL, there is too much emphasis on profit over employee growth/well-being . Also, there is an annoying sense of panic over Google Flights taking away market share from them. It all adds up to a throw-others-under the bus culture. If you feel like you must have them on your resume, do it. But if you feel like working in a genuinely collaborative environment, looks else where.

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
