      Pros

      Great WLB with a very chill work culture, good competitive pay and benefits for big tech, very nice office with great food / amenities.

      Team dependent but for me (Ads) not good for learning, too slow (would take very long to get things pushed due to back and forth and slow reviews)

      Little security -- yearly layoffs, offshoring. Declining engineering culture. Mature company with little opportunity for advancement to director or higher level from within. Cost controls that make little sense.
