Pros

high talent density, good research culture, good TC. compute generally isn't an issue. people are very serious and in it to win it. sama is very competent

Cons

has become googleified as time goes on, more top-down. employees are also somewhat entitled/spoiled when dealing with leadership (some may not see this as a downside though)
