Pros

Hot area, with amazing growth. You will do things at scales you did not think were possible.

Pros

Super smart people and the freedom to work on tough engineering problems.

Cons

Chaotic and frequently confrontational. Unless you get very aggressive about your own career growth; others who less competent but appear to be retention risk will pass you by. Different orgs seem to have a different bar for promotions and it seems to be driven by the level of desperation in retaining talent in a particular org than a pure merit based system.
