Pros

Working with one of the best minds around.

In-depth knowledge on a particular technology that makes you attain mastery onto it.

Great opportunities to collaborate with cross-functional teams.

Competitive pay and benefits.

Cons

Overwhelming and too complicated resources or processes to get a single small thing done. This may end up in spending much time on all small things, which will create pressure on tasks that are more important and necessary. This ultimately disrupts work-life balance.

Growth is very limited in terms of lateral movement in the organization, unless you have an idea which turned all minds upside down.

Round-the-clock schedules can be challenging to deal with. If you are coming from a smaller organization, you might have difficulties in understanding what's happening.

Advice to Management

Processes need to be simple and clear. Employees waste a lot of time figuring out who to reach to get things moving. Too complicated, which wastes time.
