Pros

Coming straight out of college with more theory than hands on exp, you will learn a lot here in a short time.

Cons

Corporate cesspool - leadership principals, stack ranking (confirmed by manager), oncall nightmare, PIP/focus quota. Poor internal tools that won't check off job reqs at other companies.

Pros

Good learning opportunity for new junior SDEs and those that want to learn more about building systems at large scale

Cons

Work is quite demanding and not for everyone, especially people who have a family outside of work. Oncall can be painful depending on the team.
