Pros

If you know someone that works there, you can get an in and a leg up quickly. Matching retirement contributions are 13% to a required 2% minimum (unless it's changed).

Cons

If you don't know someone that already works there: you are treated like an outsider always and never really fit in. 2 year vesting period for company's retirement contributions to your account.

Pros

Great coworkers to be around, great benefits, work-life balance was perfect before the middle management layoffs. Collaborating with teams is constant and helpful for the design process.

Cons

They cut the research team, relying on designs to take on that plus end-to-end products, which leaves to heavy work loads and late nights. Deadlines are rather quicker than usual since the reorg.
