Overall rating: 5/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Senior

One of the greatest companies in the world
Pros: Empowering environment, compelling mission and values, smart and dedicated people, international career prospects, merit-based reviews and promotions, wonderful benefits, fast-moving and very competitive industry--a learning organization.
Cons: Risk of "paralysis by analysis", bureaucratic processes, a huge organization, very US-centric. "All the roads lead to Seattle", a beautiful but remote city where it rains 155 days per year. Terrible company if you are trying to stop being a workaholic.
