Cons

Company org is confusing A few people are incompetent and political enough it's a real morale killer Career advancement feels political Some people in mid-management don't seem to care much about cultural values

Pros

Company itself is in a great market, profitable and doing great things for professional networking.

Cons

In terms of execution, too many middle-tier management gets in the way. There are way too many newbie "manager", "sr. manager", "director" titles who are trained or gifted in management.

Pros

Great engineering team, lots of interesting and tough problems to solve, smart people abound, many perks (free food, gym, etc), good work/life balance, and a great place to learn if you are fresh out of school.

Cons

Lots of politics (and increasingly so), some difficulty managing the super-fast growth, unclear career trajectories, somewhat shortsighted product roadmaps, too much focus on optimizing page views for the short term, compensation all over the place, too many inexperienced product managers in charge of rather important decisions.
