Pros

Getting to work with some of the smartest, most creative and passionate people. Working on products that millions of people use everyday is also great. Overall, the company treats its employees quite well and the management hierarchy isn't too bad. Fairly stable company with several class leading products, however lots of opportunities to work on new stuff as well. Management encourages people to move within the company to try new roles.

Cons

Each division is run like a mini company so there are some inconsistencies across product groups. In many of the product groups, its not a meritocracy. Some managers hire friends, promote friends even though they are clearly incompetent for the new position.

Pros

You cannot beat the city of San Francisco!

Cons

Company is not growing much recently, which reflects to your personal ability to switch positions or grow career faster.

Pros

Good management, participatory culture (as opposed to boss-is-always-right-in-other-firms).

Cons

There is practically no in-house training, no feedback on how someone is doing, no ranking disclosure.
