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 poor work-life balance (avoid them).

UI/UX is often an afterthought.

Constant re-organizations can be annoying.

Frequent company-wide initiatives to move to XYZ new internal tool, when XYZ is not even finished yet.
