Pros

Great idea but poor execution. Nice benefits package (Dental, Medical, Vacation). Work from home.

Cons

Red tape, egos, mistreatment of subordinates, lack of promotion. Still trying to figure how some prizes benefit humanity. Overworked under paid.

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)
