Pros

1. Brilliant People 2. Get to work on projects/product with large scale impact 3. The brand name in industry is good

Cons

1. No work-life balance. People who are single and are workaholic would enjoy it in initial few years. 2. You might end up having a boss who is far less qualified than you. 3. Operations are on the head of developers so new product development is always hampered. 4. Employees are more or less a disposable commodity for the company
