Pros

Profitable company, make a big impact, learn a lot, especially if you work on a profitable team that makes a lot of money or has many users.

Cons

Fewer benefits and longer hours relative to other big tech companies.

Engineers are on call, and depending on the team, this could mean a second job once a month where you might need to come in on weekends. I was an intern, so I didn't need to do this.
