Pros

You will learn a whole lot about doing technology at scale and you'll have the best tools and processes to support you along the way.

Cons

There's a culture of demanding a whole lot of output and surrounds the path to promotion with a lot of political nonsense. Did your manager change this year? Sorry, can't get a promotion. Is your director of engineering new to the company? Sorry, nobody under him is getting promoted to Senior for the next year and a half. There's a lot of talk about data driven planning but it all goes out the window when someone says jump. "Where's the data about where we're jumping?" "No time for data! Business opportunity! I said so!"
