Pros

The exec staff 'gets it', and empowers employees to constantly strive to make our company, employees, products, and customers excel! We also have snacks!

Cons

Parking is expensive near the office, but there is plenty of public transportation

Pros

Fantastic place to work. Creative people. Focused but relax attitude of the organization towards it's aims and deliverables. Helpful and fun loving people. Ramping up on new technologies recently. Growing greatly post the Priceline acquisition. Non work related : In the heart of downtown San Francisco. A billion food places around. Great compensation and flexible work hours. No one is overworked (except occasionally close to deadlines)

Cons

If you don't live in the city then you gotta take the BART/Caltrain. Parking around is extremely expensive. (I have heard that) annual increments are smaller. Little space for vertical growth. Some technologies that are being used are old, but they know that and are working to upgrade.

Pros

Tons of hard interesting engineering problems here - they are working on Mesos infra (on AWS), Spark cluster. The web teams use node.js. Most of the backend stuff is in Java/Scala - play framework/node/Clojure. They have some legacy code in C# but they are moving away from it (no one is really "porting" the code), teams are building new products which is replacing old products over time.

Cons

None for now, enjoy working here. Scale is not as massive compared to other consumer web companies in social media or web in terms of user data or activity. But its still fun to work here.
