Pros

vision is good and oriented towards long term.

Cons

but red taping, diplomacy and processes often frustrate. i've found myself spending half my time on preparing project status updates, planning etc. and barely 30% of time actually working

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.
