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

Unmatched Scale: You get to work on systems that handle millions of requests per second. The technical challenges are genuinely fascinating and great for your career. Smart Colleagues: You are surrounded by incredibly sharp engineers. You will learn more here in one year than in three years at most other companies.

Cons

Work-Life Balance (WLB): Highly dependent on your team, but generally poor. On-call rotations can be brutal, and there is a constant pressure to deliver more, faster. Burnout Culture: The "Day 1" mentality means things move fast, but it also leads to high turnover. The stack-ranking and PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) culture creates unnecessary anxiety.
