They're going to pay you well compared to non-FAANG, and help you break into FAANG. The culture resonates with a specific kind of person that would thrive long term (but these people are rare).
High expectations, long hours, corporate bureaucracy
Engineering is not just code. Consider that you can engineer leadership structures, incentive structures, and culture to make things better without losing productivity (it might even boost it).
