Pros

Creature comforts, great health benefits if you're single

Cons

Executive team turnover is shocking, leads to regular directional shifts that prevent basic tasks from getting done. Marissa Mayer seems to not understand the needs of the company—an enormous salary goes to her which, if reduced, would save the company tremendously and reduce the need for sweeping layoffs, rumored to take place in early 2016.

Pros

Great pay ($400/day), great office perks (weekly catered lunches)

Cons

Long hours (typically 10 hour days), higher up management is chaotic and disorganized, guidance is often changing, essentially no growth opportunities, contract structure makes a high turnover rate.
