Pros

Training, very good technical skills. Large-scale products and impacts. Working with smart people really makes you feel smooth and challenged enough. And work/life balance is fairly good compared to other tech companies.

Cons

Getting too much emphasis on so-called "visibility", more politics than average tech companies. And the technology is gradually "isolated" from the industry that puts more and more resources on open source.
