Pros

Large-scale impact The products you work on reach hundreds of millions of users. It’s very rewarding to see your work making a real impact at scale.

Cons

Depending on the team, overtime is common — especially in gaming, platform infra, or during product launch cycles.

“996” culture isn’t official, but still exists in some departments.
