Pros

You will have the chance to work on some really cool, cutting edge stuff, and are encouraged (can even change your scope or job) to develop a solution to anything you see can be improved.

Cons

Even though the company is spending billions on data center development, they will do it at your expense. You will be over scoped, under resourced (spread thin), and even if you are a star performer and receive an “exceeds” on your performance evals, you will likely never gain a promotion (especially beyond L6) or receive a raise of any significance.
