Pros

Big company and name Biggest (if not one of them) company in the world.

Cons

Expected to work 12-15 hours/day Some technical people have a very arrogant attitude Each group works as an individual mini company without coordination or communication with others. Lots of disorganization and wasted efficiencies "Day 1" culture enables improvisation, and it is commonly used as an excuse for below-bar work quality Benefits are below average for the tech industry.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
