Pros

You get exposure to how one of the world's greatest technology companies continues to innovate and adapt to a changing world.

Cons

If you like big company culture (or lack there of), this can be an incredible place. I personally didn't love how big and bureaucratic things were and felt it wasn't the best fit for me long-term. I enjoyed my 2.5 years there.
