Pros

Good office location, nice team members.

If you want to try out a big company, this would be a good option for you.

There are a lot of great people you can learn from.

Cons

Stressful work and inefficient code. A lot of legacy code.

Advice to Management

The feedback cycle is used very often not to solve problems but to excuse poor manager work. So, very often, if the whole team is not doing well, engineers will be accused of low performance. The peer review is not playing any role, so if your manager is not very good, you are in trouble.
