Pros: The people are honestly one of the best parts — smart, driven, and generally kind. It’s the kind of environment where you’re constantly learning just by being around your teammates. The resources for career development are also amazing. There’s a lot of support if you want to switch teams, learn new skills, or take on new challenges. The pay and benefits are top-tier. Free meals, great healthcare, generous PTO, and the salary is very competitive. There’s also a real sense of impact — the work you do can affect millions (or billions) of users.

Cons: It’s a big company, and with that comes bureaucracy. Sometimes it feels like you're spending more time navigating internal processes than building things. Also, your experience depends a lot on your team. Some teams have great work-life balance; others… not so much. Performance reviews can be stressful and a bit opaque. Even if you're doing well, it's not always clear how decisions are made.

Pros: Free meals with healthy/unhealthy options, plus vegan options (but not always).

Cons: Stress at unexpected moments.

Pros: Great people, super smart manager.

Cons: Too much work to do.
