Pros

* Very interesting set of problems to work on. * Most teams are very nice and easy to talk to, mostly good company culture. * Decent compensation. * A lot of very talented people to work with.

Cons

Only a select few get promotions beyond Senior Software Engineer. Once you want to get promoted to a Staff Engineer, you're told that for that position you have to work on large multi-team problems, but you're not given time to do that because you're still a Senior Engineer and have to work on firefighting and regular stuff. Very disappointing for me.
