Pros

Great work-life balance, compensation, and perks. Awesome colleagues to work with. Lots of exciting projects to choose from. Flexibility in switching teams.

Cons

As the company is getting bigger and bigger, we started to see more problems. A promotion candidate was declined and the reason was her seniority wasn't long enough.

Pros

You get to work with smartest people in the world on projects impacting billions of people every day. Get paid hansomely, free coffee and snacks on every floor and top it up with gyms and game rooms. Awesome.

Cons

Working with smartest people in the world means a lot of peer pressure: if you underperform it will be noticed, real fast, and it can be hard to keep up. And once you underperform you can find yourself overboard pretty fast.
