Pros

The work environment and the benefits are legendary and are really as good as everyone says. The *free* food is phenomenal, although I must have put on a stone and a half in my time there! The culture is exciting, the work interesting, and you really do impact millions of people around the world. Many events and theme days make going to work fun and it's really much more than your average company. Still proud to say I worked there

Cons

An expectation that you will work all hours of the day - breakfast, lunch and dinner is provided for a reason. Not the best salary in the world, but everything else that's great about the place makes up for that. There's a bit of "that's not out remit" discussion between departments, which can lead to things not being picked up.

Pros

- Great array of internal learning resources. - Great internship program, a lot of interns for all over the world. - Great place to meet other smart people and make new friends. - Great food, and there are many fun events throughout the summer.

Cons

- Most tools used are internal-only instead of open-source, so you may not gain a lot of transferrable skills. - Big company, not a lot of transparency and can't make a big impact.

Pros

The people are the best reason to work here. I had yet to meet anyone that I would consider incompetent.

Cons

Career advancement and promotions are vague. Job titles mean nothing -- you can be doing something someone 2 levels higher is doing, but you won't get paid the same.
