Pros

Great deal of flexibility Most amazing senior management and some of the best mentors The perfect place to kickstart your career and learn about the corporate A dynamic organization with well defined structures. But not so rigidly defined that you lose out on flexibility free food, great parties and offsites, intellectual and passionate people and the best culture

Cons

Low compensation and long working hours ( though largely a personal choice)

Pros

I moved here from a larger stable company where I was also working as a software engineer, and I have just been wow-ed! Apart from the amazing perks, I work with a set of very dedicated, determined and intelligent folks, which is really the best part of working here. - Co-workers are mostly rockstars! - Lots of resources to learn - 7 months into my job and I feel I am already a much better engineer. - Lots of importance on what YOU want to work on, versus what your manager thinks you should work on. You can freely talk to your manager and find an intersection between your interests and the company/product needs. - Everything is automated (again by rockstar teams), and processes are made as simple as possible. - Great pay, stocks and bonuses. - Amazing perks! Lots of food choices, great campus, regular team happy hours with great food, and the list goes on and on.

Cons

- Work-life balance almost 0 on weekdays! I spend the entire day working/thinking about work. But that is what I was looking for. Weekends are upto you - most people do not work. - Lots of process changes in short periods of time - so you are constantly climbing the learning curve. But this maybe specific to the product I work on.

Pros

Some perks, smart people, learning opportunities, great networking with very accomplished silicon valley folks, office space is fun (maybe too distracting)

Cons

Turning corporate, need to know the right people, holier than thou attitudes, veteran employees talking about their money and yachts, culture and communication is breaking down (Move fast and fix things), useless spending on parties/shirts/ice cream shop/laundry/etc just to keep young employees feeling like they are still in undergrad, Nepotism!!!
