1. Comp 2. Less toxic as compared to others 3. Slow moving resulting in less pressure (in certain parts)
1. Hires less and only senior people. So no growth path for management and IC. 2. Extreme top down. Nothing happens without CEO's decision making 3. Bi-yearly launches which are better suited for hardware world than software. 4. Lot of super senior people in rest and vest mode.

Both offer TC 350k for L5 engineers. Airbnb base 200k, no cash bonus, RSU 600k 4years.
