Pros

Impressive cutting-edge technology and product.

Some of the smartest and most qualified engineers in the industry.

Opportunities for career development and leadership growth.

High salary and good stock options.

Great off-sites (when they still had them).

Cons

Working 10+ hour days and weekends was normal and often expected. Once, a supervisor called me on vacation to get work done and told me to get used to it.

Lots of creepy IT software was on work machines without a competent enough team to manage it, resulting in frequent work loss and interruptions.

HR seemed to be monitoring every communication for "wrong-think" and made me feel very uncomfortable.

There were virtually no opportunities to interact with the senior leadership team, who only communicated through one-way announcements and absurd motivational speeches.

401k and donation matching was low, while healthcare premiums were high.
