There will be opportunities to learn. Be mindful of the team you join. Usually, there are smart people around you. Respectful environment. But all these ultimately depend on your team too

Cons

An engineer, have to wait ~2 years to move across teams. Given the size of the company, you may be working in a team that is a poor fit so be mindful of which team you join.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
