Pros

The best things are the free exchange of ideas, the informal working environment, the opportunity to pursue your own projects

Cons

There's a very strong focus on visibility on a team. Sometimes you could find yourself doing something for the sake of visibility - not it's usefulness.

Pros

Great people, very open and caring. Also VERY smart. It's your co-workers what makes it great going to work every morning. Great benefits (food, gym, healthcare). Great info sharing (transparency) from management and great access to info all across the company.

Cons

Horrible work-life balance. People inside the company tend to say its up to one person to have a balance. However true, there's lots of pressure and workload and its tough to handle. After 3-4 years you don't learn anything new and the job is routine-like. The company is getting bigger and promotions are very hard to obtain, specially as most people in the company are top performers.
