Pros

Opportunity to work with smart people.

Engineering-driven company.

Few role boundaries, offering opportunities to contribute in areas outside your core responsibilities.

Matrix organization.

Tremendous resources and leverage available from across the company.

Focus on execution success is at the core of every last employee.

Cons

Eroding compensation and benefits as cost cuts are made.

Big push to move engineering to low-cost geos, causing instability for US-based teams.

Very high expectations on working hours, made worse by the diversity of geos working on projects.
