Pros

- Huge variety of products, projects, and locations - Good opportunities for internal mobility - Always hiring for something - Stock awards of a currently-healthy stock - Open to re-hiring if affected by layoffs

Cons

- Oncall duties for engineers, possibly onerous depending on team - Sometimes the company grows at a rapid pace, sometimes it rapidly downsizes with massive layoffs, even in seemingly "safe" orgs - Prefers to reward performance with stock rather than raises
