Pros

Great compensation and probably one of the smartest groups of engineers that you could work with. The offices are great, and the perks are outstanding.

Cons

Currently the company has been going through some really bad management, I'd say. The company decides to work on some trending idea without taking into consideration the impact it may cause in the future, and now we see lots of layoffs happening.

Of course this is a company, so they don't give a damn about employees as much as they say they do. Treating people just like a number and laying off thousands for no reason when the company is still doing great is mean and disrespectful.

It was once a great place to work, but nowadays there is just fear of layoffs and PSC reviews with shallow features just to bloat their self-assignment.
