Pros

1. Very competent peers. 2. If you are in the right team, you can expect a lot of new innovative work. 3. Pretty good pay package (but definitely not the highest in the industry).

Cons

1. A lot of operational work is forced on the developers. This can get frustrating. 2. Sometimes management doesn't really understand your work and its value. This affects promotions/appraisal. 3. Not many facilities inside the office.

Pros

There are lots of big data sets with opportunity to apply machine learning techniques. There are many talented engineers making this a good place to grow technically.

Cons

There is an oncall rotation that all sdes share. It has pluses and minuses. You learn to build more robust systems, but at the expense of getting woken up in the middle of the night.
