Pros

* Work/Life balance is probably the best around * Great for remote working * Very nice Benefits * Great place to learn if you are just out of school or an intern * Mission and Values (though sometimes can't figure out how this relates) * Effort to expand diversity * Financially stable * Some great colleagues

Cons

* Very conservative culture in developing new products. Is afraid it will damage its brand. Things move very slowly. * While it wants to have a risk taking, it penalizes those who fail (the closure of the connected devices division and layoff of employees as an example) * It is a one product company with a big sugar daddy (Yahoo) * Not hungry to innovate. There is no real vision for its flagship product other than to keep adding features. * Mostly trying to protect market share from sliding even more against Chrome * Doesn't have a strong vision of the future - just churning out browser releases * Lives in its past glory and thinks that its brand will carry them forward.

Pros

Great health insurance benefits. Literally you pay nothing per pay check. Also parental leave is 6 months which is rare in the US. Wellness days were nice too.

Cons

Lack of black people in and promoted to senior / management positions even though there are many qualified people to be there. Also management cannot make decisions. They are leaps and bounds behind the competition and many lack competence.
