Pros

you will get lots of experience working with technology built with scalability in mind. In stills good working values like Customer Obsession.

Cons

Even after you get hired your are always evaluated ageist the ever rising 'bar'. 'The bar' is the aver technical and leadership of your peers in the company. Basically if you are deemed to be worse off then 50% of your peers across the company you are in danger.

Pros

Bleeding edge technology and projects Switching teams is encouraged Hard problems to solve

Cons

Management doesn't have a clue about quality engineers. They promote people who they are buddy buddy with, even if they write unmaintainable / unscalable code. They also give out the big projects based on this flawed criteria. No wonder the average time there is about 2 years.
