Pros

great pay, cool benefits (though most of the really cool stuff like the start week conference, parties, Christmas gifts, etc were cut during covid and never came back), beautiful office, some really great coworkers

Cons

expect constant 140% effort, no flexibility for part-time or sabbaticals when burned out, manager was terrible with people (not the case for everyone), constantly cutting corners, unethical use of people's data, work stack made everything 20x more difficult (unable to set breakpoints to debug, just have to "know" which files to change and how to fix them)
