      Pros

      Lots of teams, orgs, and projects to choose from globally Easy to switch teams (usually) Mid/senior level compensation can be very competitive Massive growth opportunity

      Cons

      Some teams have bad management or WLB (avoid them) UI/UX is often an afterthought Constant re-orgs can be annoying Frequent company-wide initiatives to move to XYZ new internal tool, when XYZ is not even finished yet

      Pros

      Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

      Cons

      You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
