Pros

1. Money & benefits. 2. Name brand. 3. Work life balance, depending on the team. 4. Nice teammates (at least for me.) 5. Feels cool.

Cons

1. There are years away from building the HQ - currently not even started. 2. You feel like a cog in the machine. 3. Lay offs - 6 am email sent to ~30K employees. 4. Slow growth ~2-3 years for promotion which did not increase base salary - just additional RSUs (~12K/year) and still need to wait a full year before. vesting. Thus, only a change in title. 5. No exposure to upper management besides your own manager. 6. Zero snacks
