Pros

lots of interesting work, especially doing things that no one else is currently doing

Cons

First it was open source. Hence, the name, now bought by microsoft. The company is all about profits. They talk about trust, ethics, safety, and risks. But, are hypocritical about everything. The company cares little about data privacy. Most of the data that users share is used to train models. Current efforts to regulate are merely to benefit the company. The company ignores any bug fixes regarding privacy and data protection. The company has a very unethical trajectory. As a research scientist you will constantly be challenged with questioning your own ethics working at such an organization.
