Pros

This company provides you everything to make an impact for more than 1 billion people. This is something unique in the world. The atmosphere is great, you can ask anything to anyone freely.

Cons

Moving Fast brings some problems for future, but it's no big deal, has more pros than cons.

Pros

- Pervasive focus on impact. - Plenty of opportunity to make an impact, as we ship to millions of users on a short cycle with very little red tape. Not afraid to make mistakes, though of course we strongly prefer to avoid them. - Strong overall compensation. - Excellent on-site food options. I eat here at every opportunity. - Fun "work hard play hard" internal culture. Coworkers tend to be "from the Internet". Many lolz are had.

Cons

- Now eating too many sweets because they're readily available. - Sometimes feel like I joined too late (e.g., hear Proposition 30 complaints from coworkers, doesn't apply to me). - Continued growth has decreased the small company feel somewhat. Beginning to develop internal politics. - There is some tendency among some folks to prefer a quick hack instead of the Right Thing in the name of moving fast.
