Pros

Competitive salary in the location, with good perks.

Good internal tools.

Good learning opportunities.

Smart people working.

Good facilities, while the offices were open.

Cons

Can't agree with some of the company values.

Also, what they advertise as company values, they don't actually adhere to.

Censorship, and toxic culture in general. You can't be open unless you support a particular side. People have been driven out by the toxic culture for having wrong opinions, unless they are able to suppress themselves.

As engineers, you will have to constantly look for what to work on; this adds extra responsibilities. There are very few product managers, program managers, etc., so all those responsibilities have to be taken by engineers.

Too fast-paced, sometimes just for the sake of pace or 'impact'.

Unstructured environment. Teams will continue recruiting more and more without having much clarity on what to work on.
