Pros

+ Smart/energetic people around you to make yourself better + Relative flat management for a company at this size + Projects that influence people + Probably the best café in all IT companies at the moment. Thomas Keller, Gary Danko theme, etc. + Work for fun. You can still keep a life if you are good at what you are doing. :)

Cons

- None I can think of at the moment

Pros

- Huge impact from day one - I got to own pretty large projects almost as soon as I joined, and the amount of trust placed in employees even from the first few weeks in bootcamp is amazing. - Exciting work environment, I work with some of the very best people I've met in the business every day - Real start-up feel and anxious to keep it that way. There's a lot of attention paid to the culture of the company - Things really do move fast. It's really motivating to see the results of your efforts get adopted so quickly - Great support from management - Fun @ work, many great perks. Lots of free food, and a gym to work it all off.

Cons

High workload mean that you have to be pretty motivated to enjoy it. On the flip side that's mostly self-driven - I certainly end up working a lot not because I'm pushed to but because I want to see my project succeed.

Pros

Perks are so great (3 meals a day 5 days a week, microkitchens, ping-pong, no set hours, they do your laundry for you, etc). You're given a good deal of freedom in what you choose to work on. You have huge impact (you push code to a billion+ people weekly or even daily).

Cons

Expectations are pretty high (this isn't necessarily a bad thing). It's a software engineering gig so work is somewhat isolating, but no more so than any other similar job.
