Pros

There are lots of resources to learn and grow. Work-life balance can vary greatly from team to team. My team had a good work-life balance, but that's not always the case. It is the same with management: my managers were very good, but that's not typically the norm.

Cons

There is a lot of bureaucracy. They tend to pay for decisions made by executive leadership. Dates are given, and engineering tends to pay for any slippage made by product.
