Pros

1) Cutting Edge technology, core products probably the best in business. 2) Very smart peers - probably one of the best in the silicon valley. 3) Future technologies are positioned well to continue leading in the market.

Cons

1) With new professional time off system, vacation feels like a request with your manager rather than something part of the benefits package. This makes some people hesitant to take days off - I definitely didn't take 3 weeks off since last year. 2) Before you realize it, there is just a lot of work on the plate. 3) Aggressive coworkers who work 24 hours a day and are very smart makes it difficult to be contributing at equal level. 4) Benefits have gone down - no more free lunch - meagre / no stock - salary raises promised some random time in the future, but not concrete. 5) best people in the industry but products still sometime broken probably due to Long working hours and aggressive schedules resulting in shortcuts.

Pros

Fantastic work culture, great work life balance. People are genuinely excited about what they are working on and the projects are cutting edge. Unlimited tokens (for now at least). Flexible hybrid policy, and easy to take PTO. Leadership is very forward thinking, for a large company there's a lot of sense that employees matter. No layoffs in almost 20 years. Food is pretty good and subsidized. Great benefits, and competitive compensation especially for hardware roles.

Cons

Only minor gripes - currently no gym, and the parking is very limited at HQ. This is being addressed, but won't be completed until 2028. Company has been growing faster than the offices, so there aren't enough desks for everyone. Slightly inconvenient when you can't get a temp desk where you need, but most of the time it's no problem.
