Pros

Its one of the rare places where when the going gets tough, people tend to come together to get over hurdles as opposed to pointing fingers and blaming others.

Cons

Things take a long time to get "done" and accountability for actions and inactions is not measured uniformly across the org. Very typical org, where squeaky wheels tend to get most of the grease.

Pros

Beautiful data: best collection of rich, structured people data in the world. Social network where the connections are meaningful. The satisfaction of delivering real value for users -- we get them jobs and help them be more successful in the jobs they have. Great data scientists and engineers with a strong hacker culture.

Cons

The company has grown quickly, and it shows. Good news: company is working to overhaul legacy infrastructure and processes; bad news: we still have to get work done during the overhaul.
