Pros

Pros: - The company feels very ethically driven. There are a lot of good people who want to do the right thing, even when it may be challenging. - It's an exciting, fast-paced environment and the projects you work on can impact the experiences of millions of people. - The building and actual office-space are beautiful and the perks are solid (free meals, health insurance, employee stock purchasing plan, discounts to local businesses, etc).

Cons

Cons: - Internal politics can difficult to navigate and it makes cross-team collaboration more stressful and challenging than necessary. - Compensation is lower than competitors and there is no annual company bonus (important to know when negotiating an offer). - Leveling is confusing (someone with 2-3 years of experience may be the same level and/or have the same title as someone with 10+) and there's little insight into salary ranges within the levels. - Career path options for senior individual contributors is limited.

Pros

Great hours, tons of camaraderie. Everyone always worked hard and well together. Every project was always a success. Pretty awesome place to work.

Cons

Compensation could always be better. Often had to go to a different place everyday and could be anywhere between san jose and san francisco but they made some effort to put you close to home.

Sadly, it became "just a job"

Pros

Great food. Most employees are smart. Great place to spend your days at if you are 20-something.

Cons

Unstable and unhealthy workplace. Performance review, promotion and hiring are never transparent. If you don't come from Google, Facebook or Apple, you are a second-class citizen here. Ex-Googlers hiring their buddies from Google, and promoting each other. Sudden purges and a bunch of workers just disappear. Unless you are an engineer or product manager, the salary is below the market. Culture is very unfriendly to women and parents. No wonder they are having a hard time attracting and retaining women. I came in with a pride for what I do; now it's been degraded to "just a job."
