Pros

- Alot of talented people - Interesting problems - many potential mentoring opportunities - Great build tools I started there with minimal knowledge of CS. They paid for schooling, mentored me, allowed weeks at a time to be spent with various team while I figured out my career path and left as pretty solid engineer

Cons

like any big company, it was hit-or-miss with management. I never struggled with work/life balance but that is because I was single and worked all the time. I ultimately left because the org I was under was limiting work from home possibilities

Pros

You get to work on latest and vastly spanned tech stack. You get the leverage of both working like anything and absolutely workless

Cons

Few teams, mostly US based do have politics involved in their higher management. Also, few teams do micromanage their employees
