      Interesting work

      Pros

      - Friendly, smart people - Interesting work & ability to work on exactly what interests you if you drive for it. - Relatively good work/life balance in comparison to some competitors. - I am a fan of the newer open workspaces.

      Cons

      - It's huge, so experiences across teams can be quite different. Again it largely comes back to who your individual manager is. - As with big tech companies, career progression can be slower than say a startup, due to competing with a lot of other smart people.
