Pros

Benefits are the best I've seen across any industry worldwide

Cons

It used to be amazing. It has now turned into a popularity contest with no regard for the actual work. Underperformers getting promoted, hearts of teams getting laid off. HIGHLY unethical hiring practices going on right now (i.e. entire families hiring each other in and pushing others out to do so). HR is aware and does nothing.
