Pros

They have really talented engineering teams...

Cons

People who have been with the company for 5+ year run the show here, anyone who does not align with them are almost always set o fail. If you are audacious and want to take big bets - this is *not* the place. They have 5 company values which are good if followed throughout the company. If a senior director of engineering asks ICs not to share their opinion because they don't only have few years of experience - you know the company is headed in a wrong direction.
