Pros

Great food. Most employees are smart. Great place to spend your days at if you are 20-something.

Cons

Unstable and unhealthy workplace. Performance review, promotion and hiring are never transparent. If you don't come from Google, Facebook or Apple, you are a second-class citizen here. Ex-Googlers hiring their buddies from Google, and promoting each other. Sudden purges and a bunch of workers just disappear. Unless you are an engineer or product manager, the salary is below the market. Culture is very unfriendly to women and parents. No wonder they are having a hard time attracting and retaining women. I came in with a pride for what I do; now it's been degraded to "just a job."
