Pros

- FAANG pay (not the best though) - Excellent tooling - Potential to work on interesting things

Cons

- Keeps trying to pretend it's still a start up and managing like people are there for anything but the money - You probably won't work on interesting things - Difficult to get promoted and move up - Unless you consistently get top 5% reviews your pay will quickly become peanuts - Typical clueless obsession with AI from upper management
