Pros

Work with amazing people. Chance to work on cutting edge technology products. Learn to put customers and products above everything.

Oncall !!! It can be terrible in some teams Career development is non-existent. You have to fight for everything. Survival of the fittest attitude. Not an employee friendly culture. They don't really care about employees.

Pros

Great place to develop your career. Excellent, supportive coworkers and extremely interesting work. Business rules that are followed internally, rather than just being something leadership teams come up with and everyone else pays lip service to. Huge stock bonuses which doubled in between the time I signed and my first day. Promising future and many amazing products in the pipeline.

Cons

Stock price fluctuations keep life interesting. Some (external) people have a negative outlook on the working conditions.

Pros

Company actually makes product decisions based on what's best for customers. Decision making is based around rational arguments (usually written docs). People actually follow the leadership principles instead of making decisions based on personal biases.

Cons

Have to move to Seattle to be in main office. Be in SLU is nice, but if you want to drive you'll have to join a waitlist for a company parking spot.
