Pros

It is a FAANG, so there's a lot of opportunities from the inside, many people the inspire you to raise the bar and be better.

Cons

It is hard to get access to information in general, people are willing to help but not so much to give you their full attention, so it's crucial to be good in learning alone and being able to ask the right questions.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
