Pros

- Great compensation - Great benefits and bonuses - Great technical challenges - If you a little bit lucky and get to the right team you may work with very strong people - If you are a proper type of person you can grow your career really fast here

Cons

- Toxic, you can be punished for not agreeing or asking too many questions or try to challenge ideas, it is easy to get to 'potatoes club', it is expected from you to be available almost 24/7, if you share some honest feedback - it may be changed or you can be punished for it. All channels in slack will scream all the time. Most of the people in a constant stress - Jokes about losing your jobs happen many times a day - you can lose your job because you did not do smth not really important(no data-driven proof or strategy why we should do this) but what top management mentioned, you can lose your job because someone was in bad mood, you can lose your job because you publically did not agree with smth, you can lose your job because you asked "wrong question" or because you gave bad feedback about "special" person - You will be asked many times to hide your real opinion - Micromanagement - Random tasks coming from top management without any motivation - the whole company will jump on them and postpone some critical things - If you become friends with "right" people you may get some immunity + more benefits - Some unprofessional people may get top position because of "right" friends or other "cheats" - Sexists and homophobic jokes can happen from time to time - Huge turnover, just in last year almost all people from critical positions were fired or left
