Pros

Amazingly talented people to work with Scale of problems to solve

Cons

Frugality before everything Horrible work-life balance (you only have time for work) Unrealistic deadlines and pressure to meet these deadlines No career growth. If you're stuck in level 5 Software Engineer, there is no way out. I feel like 90% IC software engineers are in level 5 Horrible coffee and even that you have to prepare yourself
