Pros

Great people, great product, with a lot of new ideas in the pipeline. Everyone is open to ideas and suggestions, you can contributed as much as you are able to, and your are only encouraged to take on responsibility. Teams are extremely autonomous. Benefits are second to none, lunch and snacks are great! Free Beer.

Cons

Lots of teams with their own plans, coordinating timelines, releases and features is/can be a challenge. You don't always know what other teams are working on, and how far along their projects might be (there is no secrecy, you can talk to them, it's just not as transparent as it could be).

Great benefits and quality of life

Easy to get lost in the size of the company. Always a "what if" after large layoffs.
