Pros: They treat their staff very well. Pay and perks are fantastic. The co-workers were all very smart, and you will learn a lot.

Cons: No ownership of work, unclear career trajectories, and it's hard to have an impact (small fish in a big pond syndrome).

Pros: 1. Free food 2. Free cab 3. Good gym

Cons: 1. Work-life balance can take a hit. 2. Constant pressure.

Pros: Free coffee and food. Great colleagues (though dwindling). Excellent pay (in Australian market). Prestige (dwindling).

Cons: Incompetent senior management makes inexplicable decisions. Unpredictable, unexplained layoffs of crucial and tenured colleagues have ruined company-wide morale. The culture has transitioned from being open and encouraging of new ideas and exploration to being restrictive, closed, and extremely bureaucratic and corporate. Career mobility is very low, at least in high-cost regions. Promotions are difficult to achieve, and quotas are low. Further, performance reviews are now largely meaningless owing to the creation of a "pretty much everyone" bucket, containing everyone from average-to-high performers. Compensation growth is much lower than inflation for most people. The tech stack is entirely custom and divorced from the outside world. Skills obtained can be transferable, but not directly.
