Pros

Benefits are great.

Culture is good.

Moving teams is ok if you need to.

Stock has went up dramatically.

Cons

Base pay, stock grants, and bonus are well below FAANG.

Advice to Management

Why lay off 10,000 people and hurt morale? You know all of the other companies are laying off just the same, and now you are hiring again just a few months later, eating up all of your competitors' layoffs.
