Pros

Awesome team supporting various technology initiatives,

Cons

Poor leadership by CTO (Max Cappellari) who constantly manipulates team members against each other, expects everybody to be available 24x7 and if you forgot to response to his weekend requests he harasses you out of company. Almost everybody in IT has negative opinion about him but fail to express because of job related threats extended by him on daily basis

Pros

lots of room for autonomy, working on world's hardest problems, great culture, great people, great benefits.

Cons

always room for improvement in scheduling all hands meetings- (hard with so many people in the company), doing a LOT of things at once (generally good thing, comes with challenges)
