Pros

Most of the people are amazing to work with. Good work life balance for IC's. Good number of events to boost work place morale. Workplace training from other internals. Plenty of growth in the DC community.

Cons

Security Protocols and procedures take a back step to profit. Communication at the bottom and mid level leaves a lot to be desired. Not a lot of external training or opportunities for reimbursement for higher learning.

Pros

Unmatched Scale: You get to work on systems that handle millions of requests per second. The technical challenges are genuinely fascinating and great for your career. Smart Colleagues: You are surrounded by incredibly sharp engineers. You will learn more here in one year than in three years at most other companies.

Cons

Work-Life Balance (WLB): Highly dependent on your team, but generally poor. On-call rotations can be brutal, and there is a constant pressure to deliver more, faster. Burnout Culture: The "Day 1" mentality means things move fast, but it also leads to high turnover. The stack-ranking and PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) culture creates unnecessary anxiety.
