Pros

Good complex projects. Tremendous learning. Very capable engineers. Opportunity to build at a global scale that impacts millions of customers. Ability to switch teams easily (this is a relatively new process) is a step towards retaining talent.

Cons

The downside of a micro-services based organization structure with a bias for action can lead to short-term solutions without an over-arching long-term design consideration. Poor 401k plan. Ridiculous stock vesting schedule. HRBP can be very unresponsive (this may not be true company-wide).

Pros

* Great people building some really cool stuff * Encouraged to keep thinking bigger all the time * You can generally work how you want to work

Cons

* Experience highly dependent on your team and teams around you. Caveat emptor. * Easy to get busy with the small stuff and fighting fires if you're not disciplined or if you're in a bad team
