Pros

There are some interesting learning opportunities, and they give a lot of resources to build things (compute/storage on AWS).

Cons

The culture has become very toxic towards white males. In our org of 100 people, they make up less than 20% of employees yet write more than 90% of the code.

Most of them are also not in the US and therefore get paid half as much for doing most of the work.

Advice to Management

Stop creating an environment that discourages people from writing code by rewarding toxic communication skills, like bullying.
