Pros

The culture is amazing; you are surrounded by brilliant, driven, and friendly people who are always willing to help. The benefits and perks are world-class, including great healthcare, free meals, and fantastic office facilities. There are endless opportunities to learn new things and work on products that affect billions of people.

Cons

Because the company is so large, it can sometimes feel like a bureaucracy, and projects can move slower than you might like. Career progression can be competitive and sometimes feel opaque. It's easy to get comfortable, so you have to be proactive about seeking out new challenges to keep growing.

Pros

Every other team is really good

Cons

There is a particular team named Regulated Cloud platform services, if you are joining this particular team, it is pretty bad in every aspect you can imagine, no processes, no defined criteria for success of project, expected to work 12-13 hours daily. If you are joining any other team, you are good
