Pros

You get free food twice a day. Many experienced people. In some departments the work is interesting. If you are ready to dedicate yourself 100% to your work this is a good place to be. If you want a balanced life, read below.

Cons

Forget 9-5. Your rights are gradually taken away. You are made to expect long hours 'sometimes', then you are made to 'understand' that this is the norm. Company is no longer doing so well and future prospects are plain bad. Management is unusually mean and implies that you are never doing enough yet spends their time on social networks trying to get new jobs. The work is very difficult (for example, engineering work at Google is significantly easier) and if you put up with it at the expense of your life you are considered 'good' and more is given to you.

Pros

Fantastic work culture, great work life balance. People are genuinely excited about what they are working on and the projects are cutting edge. Unlimited tokens (for now at least). Flexible hybrid policy, and easy to take PTO. Leadership is very forward thinking, for a large company there's a lot of sense that employees matter. No layoffs in almost 20 years. Food is pretty good and subsidized. Great benefits, and competitive compensation especially for hardware roles.

Cons

Only minor gripes - currently no gym, and the parking is very limited at HQ. This is being addressed, but won't be completed until 2028. Company has been growing faster than the offices, so there aren't enough desks for everyone. Slightly inconvenient when you can't get a temp desk where you need, but most of the time it's no problem.
