They tend to hire people who are a little under qualified, so this could be good for you id you're starting out.

Cons

You are expected to work long hours and if something comes up over a weekend, you're expected to be there even if it's last minute. Never felt like enough time was allotted for a project to shine, everything was a rush getting out the door. The benefits package was pretty bad for a full time gig.

focus of something. and stick to it. repeatedly shifting focus, or saying you are focus on a single thing but then tossing things in through the back door is not how to build a team that has a unified vision.

You get to work on great products with great passionate people. You have the opportunity to work in a multi disciplinary team, where everyone can share ideas and input. Modern design and development practices make the work feel fresh. The Android codebase is entirely Kotlin MVVM Working from home was easy and the IT team is super helpful with anything that can go wrong Office is dog friendly. The company supplied snacks or sometimes meals (even when working from home)

Cons

My benefits got reduced shortly after I joined. The package wasn't awful but It was pretty good before ~Nov. 2020. It was a company wide change not just me personally. There were often large changes to how we were expected to work. Changing from Agile with 1 or 2 week sprints to Kanban and back to sprints a few weeks later. Not a big deal but did make it harder to get into the swing of things.
