Don't Believe The Hype!
It's a big tech company everyone knows of, and depending on what team, you may have a shot at doing something epic!
It may pay well, but it really depends all so much on what team you end up on. You may not enjoy it at all. I was on a team where I had to work 12+ hours, and it still wasn't enough. The work was very unfulfilling as well.
Please look at the style of management that is presented across the board. I just find there to be many issues on certain teams.
