Pros

A few good things: Friendly people, some of them talented. I've made some good friends that I hang out with regularly. WLB is good as long as you get your work done.

Cons

Sadly a whole lot of them - I've been part of more than 3 - 4 reorgs in 3 years. Our engineering leadership is weak, probably weakest I've seen ever. They have no vision or expertise in scaling engineering. The people promotion is really puzzling and the criteria is absurd. - We write some bad software but also celebrate it and Turo celebrates bad product decisions. - People are laid off silently and company wide. Ofcourse, some of the more productive ones are let go. - Every 3 years, they come up with a "3 year plan" that would apparently make the company a rocket ship. The plan: a potato. - C-Suit and SVPs wouldn't even be hired as managers in other companies. They would be kicked out. - They took away all benefits, keep docking good stuff and pay peanuts and messed with equity now. Options to RSUs and back to options. I mean wtf.
