Pros: Lots of tech stack options, from high to low level. Plenty of cool opportunities to hop into all new projects or well-established ones. The pace moves fast.
Interview process is very well put together and structured from both sides.
Cons: Compensation is okay. Not the best, not the worst.
Priority shifts a lot, but it depends on the organization. This can result in stagnating skills or burnout. Some organizations have high turnover from this, but the company is so large that it isn't company-wide.
