Pros

Planet scale projects, smart people.

Cons

Politics and bureaucracy of the worst kind, lost in a woke la-la land, extreme hypocrisy. Promotions are a pipe dream, talent rarely matters, but your pronouns, gender (or lack thereof) and skin color certainly do! Veterans may disagree with all this, but who cares about a bunch of entitled old-timers who have made their money riding the wave, while wearing rose tinted glasses and sighing with nostalgia.

Pros

Free food. Some great people. Some internal tooling is world-class.

Cons

Incredible penny-pinching for a $2,000,000,000,000 (trillion) company. Heck, we're losing spoons in the micro-kitchens because apparently that's too expensive. People struggle to get laptops and monitors. Absurd and inexplicable decisions from leadership including unjustified layoffs of top performers. The old transparency measures (weekly all-hands with live questions and annual company-wide surveys) have been gradually killed off. We are not taken seriously. Leadership gives empty answers to difficult questions and makes no attempt to even pretend to be trying. People are STILL being laid off in the middle of the night with no warning. Leadership is focused on cost-cutting despite being extremely profitable and increasing YOY performance.
