Pros

Good trending work and great learning opportunities. You get to work on product and create impact for millions of users.

Cons

Not flexible with WFH and doesn't care much about employee's situations. Leaders lack empathy and leadership qualities to make team bonding strong or to even connect with team members to check up on their work satisfaction. US team sync up causes a bit of long work hours in the evening and again with strict work from office policy we need to login at 10 in the morning making it around 12 hrs of workday!
