      Pros

      - Free fountain drinks/coffee/beverages - Free on site gym - ESPP/RSU/401 K ( 100% match for first 4%) - Nice and clean buildings - on site cafe (but food is not free and not cheaper than outside either)

      Cons

      - stressful and fast paced - claim they are the largest start up in the world - no work/life balance. people work like crazy with long hours - promotion to people who they know , not based on knowledge and performance - lots of office politics. have to be very careful

      Pros

      Great people but that may be team dependent.

      Cons

      Culture is very team dependent. Slow to build things but that's probably to downside to corporate... it all depends on the team that you're on
