Pros

It's great to be at the forefront of technology and have major companies around the world create products just because you asked for it. It's also great to build solutions that the world runs on, so the scope is huge.

Cons

Doesn't give one iota about consumers anymore. Focus is on demo worthy stuff - forget about bug debt or doing what's right for the customer. Keep seeing people fired every week - even successful people - so you can never feel safe in your job anymore.

Pros

decent wlb unless you're a tech lead

Cons

no budget for promo even when team is important and high impact and you deliver lots of processes and bureaucracy, slowing everyone down people care a lot about titles, doesn't feel like more senior engineers are incentivised to mentor junior engineers so bus factor is ~1 for many project areas
