Pros

Great worker benefits, health care, RSUs, learning tools. Great culture of customer obsession, invent and simplify, you can quickly identify and apply the Leadership principles. You can be fully remote or work on the offices. Great challenges on scalability, reliability, high availability, security, cloud best practices.

Cons

Too many tools/web sites (half of them deprecated) to handle in daily work. Bureaucracy is something that slows you down every now and then. Not so great SCM and PR/CR tools.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
