Pros

Flexible working hours (depending on your role), catered meals, lots of cool work, and tons of world-class engineers to learn from. The corporate structure is also pretty flat, and all of the "managers" have a ton of technical experience.

Cons

The work is hard, and there is a lot of it. This isn't the place to cash an easy paycheck. Everybody on the team is really trying to make a difference.
