Pros

In some ways great. Great people, lots to learn, decent pay, high paced

Cons

Questionable job security (tenure does not matter), too much communication and meetings, stressful, being stellar at work is not enough (you always need to force growth), a lot of internal tools and libraries convolutes development. Culture seems to be in decline, possibly due to hiring boom then layoffs

Pros

Great benefits and quality of life

Cons

Easy to get lost in the size of the company. Always a "what if" after large layoffs.
