Pros

Once you have FAANG on your resume, you will get interviews. Big tech experience.

Cons

Too many to list. Cutthroat culture (team dependent). Churn and burn business model. Near zero guidance for early career engineers. Major gatekeeping and ethnocentric bias (Org/Team dependent) (Welcome to Bengaluru's Ellis Island).
