Pros

Great opportunities for learning if you take the initiative to do so (don't expect this to come from your management). Rock star coworkers. Good work/life balance + perks like the cafe, gym, SF shuttle, etc.

Cons

Inexperienced middle management. Frequent change in direction/strategy. Frequent re-orgs (significant reorgs every 6 - 9 months). Expect that most of the projects you work on either won't see the light of day or will be killed shortly after they release. Don't expect to get promoted no matter how fantastic your performance unless you're very skilled at navigating the politics.

Pros

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Cons

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
