Pros

Excellent medical and retirement benefits

Cons

Lots of unnecessary office politics. Managers are into gaining more power rather than working with employees. Many ppl are privileged and snobbish. They don’t actually work for the stated values and mission.

Depends on the team

Pros

Interesting work, cross cutting, gorgeous office, great benefits, can learn a lot.

Cons

Really difficult work life balance - in fact none. Your life quality will depend on your boss and team you are in - good team = happy life; not good team = you might as well drink poison directly (leave). Lots of horrible snaky people.
