Pros

There is lots of work available and days go by quickly. Tons of free perks are offered to entice naïve younger employees. Likely a dream job if coming with an Engineering background that likes to spend other people's money on technology that may or may not be used.

Cons

Truly a working environment that lacks fundamental leadership at most levels in the organization (with a few minor exceptions). A few ways you'll know if you would fit right in include: 1. You like to belittle and ridicule others 2. You like to blame others for your shortcomings 3. Have little to no adult interpersonal communication skills 4. Come with an egotistical mindset and likely previously worked at Space-X 5. Enjoy passive aggressive put downs/ high school behaviors for those "not as smart as the engineers".

Pros

People and communities are wonderful. It is a good brand to work under. Hybrid schedule is great

Cons

Zero promotion opportunities. Go get experience, but do not expect them to promote you in any way. They will only promote people they like. Brand name is only good thing. management are silo from people who are doing the actual work. VP and directors will yell at you and embarrassed you during an executive meeting.
