Pros

* High Compensation * AR is exciting * Smart people

Cons

* Tech is hard to work with * Company doesn't have a good vision * Lots of politics * Company has lied to employees many times and contradicted itself * Nearly impossible to get promoted beyond L4 unless you're on the right team * In house React Native that's somehow worse than React Native. If you do mobile, they will make you write javascript that's very difficult to debug and compile
