Pros

The best company culture: open, focused, friendly, and people-first.

Here, your voice matters. You get to work on things that matter to you and the company. The company invests in you through many ways, including perks, training materials, PTOs, and 4 months of parental leave.

During calibration, you can see how everyone puts people at the top of their consideration.

Cons

The company is focused on connecting people, and is very, very focused on this. So if you wanted to work on versatile things like cloud systems, self-driving cars, etc., it's unlikely you can find such work in the near term.

You might need to adapt to the work-life integration style here. Some teams are pretty busy, but not all teams are like that.

Advice to Management

Keep up the open culture while making sure leaks don't happen too frequently. Let leadership hear more from what frontline ICs and managers to understand what the company can do better. Many issues don't surface in weekly Mark Q&A because it's scary to ask some questions publicly.
