Pros

- The culture of the company is really present on every day work. The leadership principles are taken seriously, and you'll find yourself following them almost naturally after a short while. - Opportunity to learn (and be curious). Really. This is not just a shameless plug of a leadership principle. There is so much to learn that it could become a full time job. - Being surrounded by top-level professionals (...it can even be a bit daunting)

Cons

- Meetings, meetings, and more meetings, and I'm not talking customer meetings, but rather all-hands and reviews of this and that. I recognize some are important, but the calendar can get crowded very quickly - Expect to have to put in the extra effort to be able get up to speed

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
