Pros
You get to work with some of the smartest people around. You get to use awesome developer tools-- everybody who leaves misses the tools. Great perks: free food, gym onsite, etc. Very stable and secure job (even during covid). It will look good on your resume forever if you can get here! I'd say try to get in and work a few years to build your skillset but if you don't get a good project then move on.
Cons
So many smart and ambitious people who want to do the Next Great Thing that it can be hard to get a chance to work on a good project. Some people can get lost in the shuffle. It is a Big Company. The interview to get in is a bit of a lottery-- lots of super smart people don't get in on the first try... or second try.
