Pros: + Best in class compensation. + Amazing perks. + Quality of co-workers (for the most part). + The best place to learn distributed systems engineering.

Cons: - Massive organizational bloat, with attendant massive overhead (meetings, reviews, etc.) to accomplish very little. When major movements do happen, it's almost always with direct SVP intervention. Everyone has a vote, and it's almost always "no", especially if you might get promoted ahead of them (see point on promo culture below). - Lots of jerks, especially in middle (Director/Senior Director and lower-rung VPs) management. - Poisonous promotion process. - Increasingly back-stabby culture (I suppose that's what the influx of Tesla/Amazon people eventually brings). - "Followership" and "inclusiveness" wielded as cudgels. No one is willing to disagree openly with anything (I'm referring to technical topics only) as a result, making the backstabbing and behind-the-scenes undermining really exhausting to deal with. Teams are incentivized therefore to maintain the status quo (in other words, "innovate" at the edges, or basically do nothing.)

Pros: Free food, good craic. Okay.

Cons: Long hours, difficult to get to the office.

Pros: Very nice, chill vibes in it.

Cons: Sometimes there is too much stress.
