Pros

Really care about employees. The best benefits and pay. Open and inclusive culture. Really smart people. Actively discouraged from working late or on weekends. Willing to make changes to the system for the benefit of users despite costing the company money.

Cons

I had to think really hard to find any, which is a great thing. Honestly, just that I feel conflicted about the good social media can play in people's lives. But the company is making strides towards wellbeing, like notifying users of time spent in-app and showing them a message when they're "up to date" with today's content so they don't mindlessly scroll.
