Pros

Great pay, great benefits, interesting work. You get to work with some of the best engineers in the world, and the business is doing incredibly well.

Cons

Work-life balance, while better than most top tech companies and certainly startups, is always a struggle. Unstructured work environment is a challenge to some.

Great freedom

Pros

- great learning opportunities - high degree of freedom - strong sense of ownership

Cons

- some managers aren't really manager material, but just did a lateral switch for the wrong reasons - despite having some truly exceptional people, there are a number of new hires that are sub-par - work life balance varies immensely across teams, from very relaxed (10-6, mon-fri), to very ridiculous (12h+, 6+days a week)...
