Pros

Great pay, solid benefits and the like Engineering is held to a very high standard

Cons

Some of the internal tooling is miserable to work with Was assigned to a different team than I applied for You're working for a massive corporation and you'll feel it in everything you do Tons of trainings. Your first month and some change will literally be just trainings. Tons of pushing around career advancement, even before your first month is up

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.
