Pros

Decent pay and stock but I think they underpay compared to other FAANG

Pros

- Flexibility of working hours - Huge company: many different fields, projects, work areas

Cons

- Very 'political' work environment; pretty much the 'survival of the fittest' - Constant gaslighting from the management as if everything is perfect; although pretty much everything works with band-aid solutions - Inefficient at best; plain mundane at worst work most of the time - Poor rewarding

Pros

- Huge variety of products, projects, and locations - Good opportunities for internal mobility - Always hiring for something - Stock awards of a currently-healthy stock - Open to re-hiring if affected by layoffs

Cons

- Oncall duties for engineers, possibly onerous depending on team - Sometimes the company grows at a rapid pace, sometimes it rapidly downsizes with massive layoffs, even in seemingly "safe" orgs - Prefers to reward performance with stock rather than raises
