Pros

Some of the best tech mind work here. Good exposure to cutting edge technologies, and a lot of opportunity to learn, contribute and grow.

Cons

No medium/long term vision. Things happen and change really fast, and at some point, you Erik feel disoriented and exhausted.

Pros

Simple offering: If you make it, great: what don't kill you makes you more experienced. First 6-12 months are quite likely the shittiest in your life so far. After that it will improve one way or another. Many quite during that point, and the next job is usually an improvement. Those who do not will figure out how to improve their life within. Both may work.

Cons

Pager. Tons of others, but we'll start with that one.
