Pros

You work with the brightest people in the world who are also very modest and kind. Very fun, enjoyable, flexible atmosphere where you can be yourself. Every day I was there I found another reason to love it. The campus is very well connected and collegial. The food is obviously amazing. They are also always inviting speakers and musicians and finding ways to keep you entertained and learning. I could go on and on, but I was very happy there.

Cons

Team Leads were often inexperienced and poor. They were not use to working with so many high achievers and did a poor job managing them. Often had issues of micro management. The salary was average to below average depending on what department you were working for.

Pros

The "pro" that comes to mind that I want to mention about the company is that you get the opportunity to learn a lot.

Cons

It is very unstructured. No one is teaching you what to do, you have to learn on your own. However, there are tons of smart people to ask who are willing to help.
