Pros

Benefits are solid; San Mateo has good restaurants

Cons

Make your number you can still be gone in an instant; they take at-will seriously and will terminate if you are not nodding head and saying yes. They turn smart people into conformist robots and control with money. On-boarding is excruciatingly long having to memorize and regurgitate company script only to scrap it to sell the product in the real world. All aspects of equity are suspect and look at those on LinkedIn who used to be there and that will start to paint a picture for you. Don't be fooled by the positive HR posts.

Pros

- Depending on the team, you can have a good work/life balance - Given they hire a lot of new grads who are building a community in the area, it's pretty easy to get involved in social groups and make friends in the office

Cons

- Depending on the team, you may have poor work/life balance - Top-down culture - many typical responsibilities a given role would have (at least in engineering or product) in other companies are separated out. While not necessarily good or bad, it can catch people who are used to more autonomy in their decisions off-guard - Slow growth trajectory in roles and experience / learning which can be unfortunate for those starting off in their careers - Immature feedback / leveling loop - It was fairly common that people got feedback or temperature checks from more casual conversations with peers or other teams rather than formal reviews or manager conversations
