      Pros

      Compensation is highly competitive and difficult to match elsewhere. The company attracts exceptionally talented people, providing excellent opportunities to learn from skilled and experienced colleagues.

      Cons

      The company culture can be quite toxic and tends to suit a very specific type of person. There is relatively little emphasis on employee experience, and employee gifts and perks are fairly modest. There is also a strong insistence on using internal tools, even when external alternatives are more effective or user-friendly.

      Pros

      Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

      Cons

      Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
