Pros

Pay above average in my region.

Cons

Team leaders and structure are constantly changing; not so much chance to grow any meaningful designs in any repo if you are not in infra or building algorithm; oncall was rampant and wore out even the most genuine people; had to strive for any bonus or salary raise.
