Pros

Learning opportunities, working with cutting edge technology, really smart people to work with and learn from, if you survive, the stock options bolster your salary nicely.

Cons

It is assumed that people don’t have lives. Most people work 10-16 hours daily and then still work weekends to keep up with the workload they’re given, yet this still isn’t enough. Managers are barely accountable for anything tangible asides forcing people to do lots of work, so lots of managers don’t have any real skills and only have to be visible by making noise and hitting the attrition target to retain their jobs, while everyone else is treated like machines.

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.
