Pros

Famous brand on your CV that makes a lot of effort looking very different on the outside than it actually is from an IC standpoint.

Cons

Values, decent culture and googliness is a myth from pre-2023 layoffs. Sociopaths/psychopaths in management, power abuse, red hierarchic organization with zero agency remaining in Warsaw, Poland. Bad location for international mobility. Enter political games, policy abuse, hoarding.
