Pros

Free breakfast, lunch, and dinner Pay is pretty good Well, you don’t die like in squid game just laid off.

Cons

Everything else Condense sucks. Unreadable code written by those who don’t want to give their job away, so intentionally confusing. Managers who were at right place right time. Mine literally got LUCKY with right timing and very limited experience. Directors even dumber — applied once every year for past 20 years and finally made it into Meta. So they hold onto the role like it’s no tomorrow. Colleagues squid game style competition. Work is meaningless — like piece of crap wrapped in sweet chocolate so you only see the chocolate at first. Stress cultures — if you’re not stressed you will be second hand stressed, ohh yeeeaaahhh! Everything is done with stress — it’s like replacing the coffee in the morning, because coffee is free. None of projects here make any technical sense. 2+2=5 because John said so.
