Pros

- Best benefits and compensation package in the market - Work is highly impactful and scales to the billions of users. - Resume booster - Much of what you need to live is available on campus (can be a con)

Cons

- Social culture is pretty dead - In place of camaraderie, fear-based culture made for PSC and short-term impact-chasing. Kinda checks out because the company plays it quarter-by-quarter too. - You WILL get reorged at some point, often to your loss - WLB: 40 hour workweek will not get you promoted -- now important since performance criteria can change without warning. - Leadership is tone-deaf - Often siloed development work, made even more isolating thanks to AI push. - Mostly all internal tools so it'll be a bit difficult to map your experience here to external tooling
