Pros

Resume builder, always something to eat for lunch, cheap benefits and great coverage

Cons

Sexist corporate managers, 60+ hour weeks when you factor in having to jump on mandatory calls on your day off and keeping up with emails, always what more can you do to build sales when the issue stemmed from a marketing team that made more, policies in place are flimsy as it's all trial and error, there are upper corporate managers and GMs who do anything to make themselves look better to get ahead while throwing anyone else under the bus, corrupt HR, the pay is underwhelming without any bonuses (you do get stocks but not all at once and they aren't worth much anymore).

Pros

Great team when you have a manager and full team that works well and collaborates well. Stock is great. And you know when youre doing well, the pay increase is roughly the same as everyone else.

Cons

Low perks compared to other FAANG companies and most teams have high turn over

Pros

Unmatched Scale: You get to work on systems that handle millions of requests per second. The technical challenges are genuinely fascinating and great for your career. Smart Colleagues: You are surrounded by incredibly sharp engineers. You will learn more here in one year than in three years at most other companies.

Cons

Work-Life Balance (WLB): Highly dependent on your team, but generally poor. On-call rotations can be brutal, and there is a constant pressure to deliver more, faster. Burnout Culture: The "Day 1" mentality means things move fast, but it also leads to high turnover. The stack-ranking and PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) culture creates unnecessary anxiety.
