Pros

The benefits and perks are very good. If you're in a good team the work can be very rewarding.

Cons

The culture used to be "work hard, play hard," but that's mostly been lost now. With company growth, success looks like "skip-level managers" who spend half their time in 1:1's and the other half on goals that are usually just taking credit for others' work.
