Pros

Smart coworkers, easy to get a long with. Pay is ok especially for very good work life balance. Total compensation depends on when you joined and how your options are worth, but base salary is good and so are benefits. New NYC office is very confenient and nice. Work can be interesting depends on your team.

Cons

Near constant reorganizations. Very inexperienced management, from middle management to the top. HR is nightmare, but good news is most of the people can just avoid them. No RSUs. Pay not competitive for very senior people so hard to hire them. Some people have not things to do, because there was too aggressive hiring and now too many people work on small problems.

Pros

Great benefits and quality of life

Cons

Easy to get lost in the size of the company. Always a "what if" after large layoffs.
