      Not as fun as it used to be

      Pros

      Great benefits, stellar engineers, the ability to work on large, interesting problems. Company has large and usually positive effects on the world.

      Cons

      Flat organization has given way to more hierarchy and middle managers, who are often woefully inept. Company has an inability to deal effectively with low performers. Hard to effect change in a large organization. Lots of people are becoming risk averse and more concerned about personal ass-covering than making good software. "Don't be evil" is not a value shared by all at the company, especially newer hires.

      Good experience, don't spend more than a year.

      Pros

      It looks good on your resume. Additionally, everybody you speak with will recognize the company you work for, as it certainly has good name recognition. There are a lot of learning opportunities, and very intelligent people to learn from beyond the provided courses. Taking advantage of all of these resources is what makes working for this company worth doing, at least for a period of time.

      Cons

      All of the perks are designed to keep you at work longer, without additional pay. Additionally, promotion opportunities are generally available to those who kiss the right feet, not necessarily to those whom do the best work (or work the most efficiently).

      It's okay

      Pros

      Great culture, speakers always come to give great lectures on everything from molecular science to political science. The food is very very good, as are the snacks. I'm sure it doesn't hurt on your resume either. In addition, the management generally does care about your personal life...this is not a company that forces you to work 24/7.

      Cons

      Promotion and career path are not clear at all. The management is not always great, particularly if you're in the Online Sales and Operations organization. The pay is very very low, despite what you may imagine (those that made a lot of money are those that were hired before the IPO)
