      Great place to be from

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great pool of smart people - Great onsite benefits - Lots of interesting projects - Cool company - Great Public awareness and charitable attitudes.

      Cons

      - Too many promoted for how they promote themselves not for what they do or add. - A focus on cutting the bottom 5% "just because" - Hiring at a level above the actual job requirements which means people are working below their capabilities. - Lots of lazy people who can do so because they have been there long enough -

      unfair, boring place (at least outside of engineering)

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      delicious food, massages, TGIF/ other nice events, generally smart people (but also many are total weirdos), many engineers truly passionate about products

      Cons

      unfair/ slow promotions process (if you manager really likes you you get promoted, if they sort of like you you're in purgatorium forever, if they don't you're managed out). boring work. red tape. all big company problems and more. many products competing with each other or duplicating effort. chaos in communication between teams. bureaucracy in order to get simple stuff fone. Disrespect for non-eng functions. declining quality of hires.

      Good if you are not too keen in career advancement

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Folks are generally smart and friendly; easy to achieve work-life balance if you are not too keen in getting promoted; open culture.

      Cons

      As the size grows, policities start to kick in. There are people (thankfully, only a few) who talk the talk but not walk the walk that are fast-track in the promotion.
