Pros

- Very strong tech wise and lots of things to work on - Company is present in various domains, so if you like to switch to a new domain it will be pretty easy. - You will be part of prestigious FAANG community, so obviously more respect in the industry

Cons

- Sometimes work life balance goes bad because there is too much to work. - You kind of stagnate in terms of work after a few years. - You will have visibility to only a small module of a business. It kind of hinders your overall growth - Promotion process is very tedious and very difficult to get promoted
