Pros

Very profitable, well run, aggressive growth, smart people, access to capital, innovative, industry leader.

Cons

Senior management are very rich and very out of touch. They are becoming "tech bros". It is white male dominated. Exclusive - you are either "in" or you're out. Demands are high, they talk work life balance but if something needs to get done, well too bad about your life. If you have no life and love working evenings and weekends (bonus if you are white) you can go far here. They allow obvious mysogony to persist, even after complaints and women leaving due to the toxicity. HR always sides with star performers no matter how bad their managements skills are.
