Pros

Working with one of the best minds around. In-depth knowledge on a particular technology that makes u attain mastery onto it. Great opportunities to collaborate with cross functional teams. Competitive pay and benefits.

Cons

Overwhelming and too complicated resources/processes to get a single small thing done. May end up spending much time for all small things which will create pressure on tasks which are more important and necessary. This ultimately disrupts work life balance. Growth is very limited in terms of lateral movement in the organisation, unless you have an idea which turned all minds upside down. Round the clock schedule can be challenging to deal with. If you are coming from a smaller organisation, might have difficulties in understanding what’s happening!!

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
