Pros

Very smart people, most of them generous with time & knowledge. Huge company with many locations, teams and opportunities. Reimburse tuition if you pursue an advanced degree after hours. If you are focused and want to learn & grow, it's a great place to work.

Cons

Lots of reorganizations and lots of management turnover. This can slow your progress toward promotions and create ambiguity around team goals. It can also tamp down perceived results at review time. On a separate note, as across tech in general, work pressure has stepped up in the last couple years or so.

Pros

Great big scope, great benefits and salary, and world wide impact. Very smart people to work with, and interesting problems.

Cons

Problems include silos, execs who are sometimes out of touch with consumer customers and women in general, and challenges working quickly on new opportunities.

Pros

Compensation is probably the best around. Chance to be part of something used by millions globally. There's little end to the variety of things you can work on. If you have an idea, you can usually pursue it.

Cons

Demands are high and fast. If you're solidly Type A, you'll be okay. Management quality and ability is highly variable. Good, effective managers are not the majority of the management pool. Org structures are typically pretty vertical, too. Expect frequent reorgs that may suddenly put you in completely different teams, projects or roles.
