Pros

Really smart and fun people, challenging problems to be solved, lot of tools that make everyday tasks easier. Lot of education possibilities. Many different offices and projects around the world.

Cons

Sometimes decisions are not performed as fast, which can block you. Also do not expect to develop full time as a developer - lots of other work too.

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.
