Pros

The tooling and technology stack is pretty accessible and robust.

Cons

The worst company to work for if you're not a 'cookie cutter' . They have zero respect for anyone with a slightly different racial background or disability. They preach inclusion but practice discrimination hardcore. The only thing the inclusivity training did was teach manager's how to avoid detection. HR does not care . You can have a fully substantiated claim and still get fired by your manager with no appeal. Skip Pip and find somewhere worth working for. WWPS is particularly bad about talent recognition and certain managers are shielded well in their hate bubbles.

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.
