Pros

You will get good name recognition on your resume. There is no shortage of budgets or work. Most of your projects will have high impact. You will learn how to build planet-scale application

Cons

The workload can be brutal for a TPM. Expect to put-in 60-80 hours a week and forget about work-life balance. Also, as a TPM you are in support role. The SDM calls the shots for the project execution.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
