Pros

Technology, People, Total Compensation are all admirable

Cons

Finding a way to get all that you need to get done in a 40 hour week is pretty much a pipe dream. Plan on working beyond 40 hours consistently. You have your regular job but in order to "raise the high bar" prepare to be stretched to the limit just to keep your head above water.

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
