Pros

Autonomy to approach problems how you see fit.

Access to a wealth of learning resources.

There is an internal tool/service to fit almost any use case that arises.

Excellent pay.

Cons

Little job security until reaching senior levels.

Some teams are in KTLO mode, just keeping legacy services alive with little innovation.

Organizational structure overall is messy and chaotic, with each org within the company feeling like a company all its own.

Advice to Management

Clearly communicate successes and failures, and identify deficits early to allow for growth opportunities.
