Pros

It's an inclusive work environment. Lots of decent people. I've made a lot of friends here. And while it depends on your manager and role, there's definitely opportunity to leave your lane and make an impact. There's typical big company politics and silos, but they're often navigable. Pretty good paid-time-off policy, especially for a big company.

Cons

The work environment is miserable and is essentially what I imagine a prison cafeteria to be like. Think of a big concrete box, very open, with 100's of desks lined up in row after row after row. No dividers, nothing to dampen sound, no "concentration rooms" to escape to, no common space to go have a personal conversation... if you need to think, or do real work that requires concentration, you'll have to take it home and do it there after hours. It's really bad. There's also no green space, parking is hard to find, bathrooms are overcrowded, there are no standing desks, and the coffee is undrinkable. But... if you like lots of rah-rah speeches from management about how great things are while you're suffering through the work day, this is definitely the place to be.

Cons

Leadership Scheduling Work/life balance Stress Broken everything - half of the tools and resources don’t work No room to grow your career anymore unless you suck up. If you’re blunt and honest you’ll be an outcast - they’ve fostered an environment where they only want cheerleaders. Constantly changing goal posts Frequent restructuring
