Pros

Vast opportunities to learn and grow technically. Strong engineering standards and large-scale distributed systems exposure. Good compensation and benefits compared to many companies. Smart people and talented peers across teams.

Cons

A lot of internal politics within some engineering teams. Visibility and networking sometimes matter more than actual engineering output. Candidates from IITs or big tech backgrounds like Google/Amazon often get preferential treatment during hiring and internal growth. Engineers coming from startup backgrounds may feel undervalued, even if they have strong real-world ownership experience. Survival and growth can depend heavily on navigating internal politics rather than pure technical skills alone.
