Pros

You'll have the chance to work on some good products with global impact, and there is plenty of opportunity for advancement.

Cons

The benefits are weak since Obamacare. We used to have 100% coverage for all medical expenses, no deductible, no copay, no paycheck deduction. Now we pay over $6k/yr for a family of 4. Some teams are moving to cubicle farms or open work areas instead of the private offices everyone used to have.
