Pros

The kind of work they are doing is really good.

Cons

The work-life balance may not suit everyone. It's quite hectic (mostly depends on the team) during oncalls.

Pros

Great pay, great benefits, very interesting work at scale. Talented, motivated coworkers create a great environment for learning and growing.

Cons

Can be a brutal individualistic culture. Really have to know how to manage yourself, your workload, etc. Very easy to get swept up and burnt out. Seen it very often.

Pros

Incredible opportunities for growth here. Maybe not always in the way of promotions, but you can easily get experience with a broad range of technologies and large scale systems. The compensation is great. Plentiful opportunities to switch teams/orgs using internal transfers if you don't think you're on the right team.

Cons

On call can be horrific depending on the team. Constant churn with re-orgs (depending on org of course). Work/life balance not great. Get ready for lots of stress.
