Pros

Fast-paced environment with lots of flexibility to participate in and own new programs. Great opportunity to learn cutting edge technology.

Cons

Onboarding process throws people into the deep end, management support is very different based on teams. Frequent reorganizations (I had 5 managers in 18 months and was moved to a job function that didn't match what I applied for). It's very difficult to get a fair performance review when your manager never gets a chance to see what you're capable of.

Pros

- Good pay - Interesting work (team dependent)

Cons

- Politics often gets in the way of good work - Clueless, rudderless leadership just cause problems (can be org dependent) - People are encouraged to only do things that check arbitrary criteria for promotion, trying to do what's best or what's right is discouraged - Not many extra benefits compared to other big tech - Work/life balance can be rough (team dependent)
