Pros

Worldwide coverage They really care in the small things for keeping happy employees, like always coffee, nice kitchens, clean and nice offices with hot swap laptop. Security always first and attention to detail. Really good work life balance

Cons

Values differ from the theory to the real life. Interviews are long, lasting 4 hours the longest one The security clearance they do is a Joke. They third party it and the company who does is is completely informal and provides inacurate information. In datacenter roles, Because of security you will not know your workplace till the last minute (24hs before) so once you are hired you should find some hotel or airbnb in a center area untill you know where will be your work place not leading you to choose a proper place near the office. It cost me 2.5hours a day one way. Discrimination found in the company, sadly.

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
