Pros

Pay vs. startups is high.

Infrequent on-call rotations (dependent on team).

Expectations generally low.

Cons

Extreme organizational hierarchy and chaos.

Re-orgs are expected every six months or sooner, often disrupting work.

Extremely poor management. At every level, managers are not held accountable for poor performance or held to any sort of standard.

Pay is relatively low compared to other FAANG companies.
