Pros

-Truly amazing product that WILL change the game once execution complete. Thankful and excited to be a part of it. -Tons of smart people that are fun to work with. -I have had two direct bosses during my time here, and both have been awesome. -Compensation feels good, though I came from outside the tech industry, so hard to say if folks complaining are justified or greedy. -Every day I go to work happy, and I have had jobs in the past where that is not true.

Cons

-Leadership changes during 2014 (San Francisco). both comings and goingings, have been a distraction, and in some cases resulted in lay-offs that looked bad (even if they might have been justified). -Some (but only a minority) do not know who will listen to them when they feel their manager doesn't hear them. -I'm not a fan, in general, of companies using contract workers as "try before you buy" employees. Unless they know it's a short term project need, companies should commit to employees from the beginning.
