Pros

you might meet some cool people

Cons

Lay offs happen randomly without warning, over 200 people have been cut this year alone. They fire their best people and replace them without outside hires with zero domain knowledge. The company has been hemorrhaging talent for a while and just this past year it seems to be getting really bad. If you hate your work life balance and your own sanity, take a senior engineering position here! Especially in websites inventory: this dept has no policies or practices (every policy is superseded by an older confluence doc from someone no longer at the company), but they’ll penalize you like they do. Management doesn’t do 1:1s so they literally don’t care if you’re enjoying or hating your job (you’ll hate it). I worked for cars a while back (dealer inspire) and it was nothing like it is today. Today’s cars is a horrible place to work. In the process of suing them, which you’ll have plenty of opportunities to do with how disorganized everything is.
