Pros

Awesome technologies Very smart people Fast pace - Agile Very cool problems to solve everyday in terms of cloud computing and scalability Very flexible switching groups policy - internal process is amazing for this.

Cons

On-call rotation on most of the teams. (24/7 support for customer impacting issues)(in general 1 week every 6 weeks) Some managers are inexperienced. Some groups are lacking diversity. You can easily find yourself in an Indian mostly org or Chinese mostly org.
