Pros

1. Great leadership people who thinks for the employees as well. 2. The people around you are very talented and you get a lot to learn. 3. Best work life balance - it depends on the team you are in.

Cons

1. Development of a feature takes a bit more time since the whole process is complex. 2. Sometimes you have to push it hard to meet the deadlines, but as I said it depends on the team you are in.

Pros

Fantastic benefits, decent pay/rewards, work impacts a lot of people

Cons

Crazy bureaucracy, cross-team collaboration is both frequent and frustrating, nothing is documented, everyone is trying to meet seemingly arbitrary deadlines all the time, inscrutable urgent requests from upper managements, PMs try to micro-manage you
