Pros

Above average benefits, flexible and accommodating team members, good learning opportunity, innovative products that will keep you involved and motivated.

Cons

Career progression is difficult and depends on others opinions and not on the actual impact. When it comes to people, Senior management only care about what's written in the documents instead of actual impacts. If you are lucky to get a good manager, you can think of continuing in this place. Please do not join a manager outside of your function, they do not value you or your skills and will not treat you with respect. They will only care about their own function. There are managers who deliberately stop your internal transfers after you initiate transfer applications with their consent (and they are not rare!!) Be watchful of such managers.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
