      Pros

      Lots of flexibility with work schedule, Great people

      Cons

      Most people do not get annual bonus or RSUs, promotions are rare, upward mobility is hard since the organization is so flat. The only way to progress in the company is to find a new job.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great campus and some of the best benefits around.

      Cons

      Upward mobility was extremely political. Teams were also very "cliquey". The campus and culture is shiny and bright upon first glance. However, what once was bright & exciting starts to dim very quickly once you realize how unfair hiring decisions are. It does not matter how hard you work or if you were the best candidate for a role. It is all about who you know.
