Pros

Good work-life balance (at least most of the time), while there are a lot of bureaucracy, the company and the managers do care about the company image, they usually won't do or say anything that would outright be considered evil and outrageous (unlike Amazon).

Cons

Stack ranking is still here even though they no longer advertise it (there is no more bucket 1-5 or 20 70 10). Feel like company is lack of directions. Products/feature designs are not focused. Brand name is not very hot, they are turning around a little bit (but is it enough?) Senior management only cares about short term gain and lack of any kind of visions. CEO cares more about cost cutting than solving problem or innovating.
