Pros

Lots of opportunity to learn new technologies and to innovate. Everyone is willing to help. Mechanisms to help drive business goals. Super motivated people.

Cons

Scale. Problems are unique due to the size of the company. You need to deal with a lot of ambiguity (not really cons but difficult for some people).

Pros

1. Steep learning curve. Has a very strong culture of ownership and freedom. You will learn both as IC and Manager. 2. Lot of growth opportunities. You can easily move to different teams and work on interesting projects 3. Salary and Brand on resume

Cons

1. Work life balance is not healthy. You will easily work 60-80 hours a work if you want to be better than average. 2. Too much focus on promotions. Everyone is always evaluating how will the given task help them in promotion. 3. Not a lot of after office bonhomie. People are loaded with work and any free time goes to the family. Even you developers do not like to spend time with team members. Company culture does not promote/sponsor too many events for team bonding.
