Pros

If you are a person that likes happy hour there seem to be a lot of them. Most people work 9-5, so hours aren’t really bad Lots of team events, product demos, hackathons, etc Cold brew on tap! Very smart people, very friendly (in your own groups) Free security system

Cons

Pay is horrible for this market Need to be friends with the right people to get ahead HR is an absolute joke, make sure you understand everything you sign prior to joining, they will hold it against you, I’m not sure if anyone in HR is actually ever in the office though, so questions have to be emailed VERY political, make friends early or watch your peers get ahead faster than you More time spent with meetings a week than actual work being done Location is tough with traffic, unless you live close expect to spend a solid part of your day commuting No commuter benefits

Pros

The office space is great, full of great perks. Social elements are great, if you have time. Training staff is supportive and strives to offer lots of opportunities. If this is early in your career, it's not a bad place to cut your teeth/get a big 'name' on your resume.

Cons

Before I started writing this, I read the past few years of reviews and had to do a double take the make sure I hadn't written a review before. So, let me repeat what others have said: LOTS of favoritism/clickish behavior. Mid level leadership protects their friends. Department heads who have 70% department turnover in a year (the lionshare leaving for better jobs) continue to fail upward. For a progressive company about access, no real support for remote work/flex hours. Pay levels 10-30% below market, hence the BIG campus push. The 'freedom' to chart your own career path means that unless you get a supportive manager, you're just a cog. HR department is absolutely focused on the companies benefit, not yours. Read and use the employee handbook and know your rights.
