Pros

- Good pay - Lots of career opportunities if you seek it, also switching teams is extremely easy if you dont like your current - Lots of problems to solve - Overall its not a bad place to be, but do ask yourself what you are here for

Cons

- Typical big tech/large company painpoints - top down decision making, lots of processes to push through just to launch something simple - Promos are very difficult, sometimes its better to jump externally and come back - WLB/teammates/manager is a crapshoot
