Pros

WLB and intelligent colleagues. Thats it.

Cons

Internal politics. I get 1 feedback from team and totally opposite feedback from manager. Multiple manager changes in a short time, new manager says tasks from previous manager were useless and you haven't done any good project in last 3 months when I was doing what the manager told to do. Literally cancerous Indian managers who are sitting in US and think they are gods.

Strong engineering culture, competitive pay, great learning opportunities, and excellent internal mobility across teams.

Work-life balance can be tough, on-call rotations are demanding, and the pace is fast with high expectations.

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
