Pros

The work is impactful and challenging You work with some of the smartest, most creative people on this planet Extremely well resourced - amazing benefits, good work environment, teams are well staffed, you definitely have the resource to get some amazing work done if you really go for it.

Cons

Because the teams are so well staffed, occasionally it could feel like there are too many cooks in the kitchen, and accountability is not always clear.
