Pros

Some superb engineers, fast phased and dynamic. Great RSU package. generous compansaion (though I heard it changed recently)

Cons

Don't expect fair treatment. If you want promotion, you must be manager's or director's friend from previous work. I asked my director about my promotion after a stellar year, while he was promoting his friends, he said "you should have negotiated better, nothing I can do". HR is indifferent and irrelevant.

Pros

Chance to work in latest technologies across a broad range of products, smart people who are passionate about what they do. Flexible work from home policies depending on manager. Professional workplace mostly.

Cons

Getting bigger and more bureaucratic. No longer a start up culture. Okay compensation. Does not keep up with market. They stopped stock options years ago. Bonuses are drying up too unless you are a manager and above. Upper management is making out like bandits. They do dole out a few RSUs to the rank and file, but with stock price stagnant or going down, the value is questionable as they don't vest in less than four years. Depending on manager and group, work loads and schedules can be unrealistic and exhausting. No defined vacation time, depends on manager. Key people have jumped ship.

Pros

Cutting edge technology. A great place to work for as an intern or contractor.

Cons

For my group, we had little to no raises and no stock options or RSUs offered. The management was very condescending and really did not listen to your ideas. They already had it figured out.
