Pros
Compensation. (until leadership decided to cut 10% from employees variable comp and raised exec's salary by 200%) Engaging and complex projects that offer professional growth. (if you love wearing 393 hats) High-quality standards maintained across many teams. (if you're at WhatsApp or instagram) Opportunity to work with talented individuals, provided you're placed in the right team. (if you're lucky enough to land in a team that cares more about good product and don't have back-stabbers)
Cons
Unrealistic expectations that are difficult to meet. Excessive bureaucracy and unnecessary red tape that slows down progress. A toxic culture of finger-pointing, backstabbing, and undermining colleagues. The focus has shifted from building great products to simply satisfying senior leadership.
