Pros: Pays well, I guess.

Cons: - Very intense culture. Expectations are each year higher and higher. Work-life balance is suffering hard. - Extremely disorganized. Teams do not collaborate well with each other and often have competing roadmaps and priorities. Projects get de-prioritized midway through all the time with no respect for the engineers' time and commitment. Priorities get changed so often it feels we're never really going anywhere, just walking in circles. - The leadership is constantly making poor decisions, and there is absolutely no accountability for them. Engineers are the ones fixing the mess and taking the blame. - Getting promos is just a very slow process nowadays. Some people wait over two years for a promo, even though all their peers recognize they're clearly already performing at the next level. - There's no engineering culture nowadays. - Benefits keep getting cut every day.

Pros: Pool of talents in core business, open source contribution, culture. If you want to learn something quickly in a hard way, this is the place. If you want to work hard, get recognized or promoted quickly, this is the place.

Cons: Work-life balance, leadership vision, metric-driven strategy. If you want to live a balanced life with your hobby, don’t come. If you want a company where you can stay for the next 5-10 years, don’t come. If you want to follow your passion and work on things you feel are right, like automation or prototypes, unless you can prove their revenue contribution and convince leadership, don’t come.

Pros: Very bottoms-up, but slightly messy because of it. Generally friendly people.

Cons: Can be disorganized due to the bottoms-up culture.
