Pros

Most people have graduate degrees (specially from Stanford). You can learn a lot as a junior developer.

Cons

Promotions are completely arbitrary. I recall one of my bosses quit after the position he was working hard to get went to a friend from college of the CEO who was clearly under qualified for the role. The company is very hierarchical and sometimes people from position of privilege would have prejudicial attitudes against lower rank employees, specifically minorities. I don't recall ever interacting with either a black or latino employee. Women are also heavily under represented and rarely get into leadership roles.

Pros

Decent pay and declining benefits

Cons

Current leadership is toxic. They want no dissent, only strict adherence to the leadership’s lack of vision.
