Pros

Well established company, leading its market. Safe job. Good if you are starting your career or if you have parent-like responsibilities. Top tier technical challenges, good place to learn new backend and web frontend technologies combined with site reliability.

Cons

Require more technical talent and expertise than what they are willing to pay for. Experts are leaving seeking better pay and life/work balance. Meritocracy is a faux claim in their values. Mid management is plagued with people placed by friendship / obedience / convenience rather than merit.
