Pros

Company resources Structured way of doing things. A good place to learn how to navigate the elite of corp america. Good to develop your writing skills. Data and customer focused company.

Cons

Most people in their late 30's mid 40's who want to get their check and go home. Very unfriendly and fake corp culture. No org chart. Overall lack of transparency. They underpay because of their name. Recent RTO 5 days despite strong employee rejection. Profit obsessed culture. They would sell your mother if that could bring in more money. In order to get promoted you have to be there for at least 3-4 years working 60h weeks.

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
