Pros

They pay competitively. I used to say they paid well, but the market is shifting around a bit.

Cons

You are a cog in an enormous clock. Your opinions only matter if you are lucky enough to be put on a team that doesn't have an oppressively over-processed mindsight, where wiping your behind on breaks requires a triplicate form to be approved by a PO and two senior devs.

Their specific take on Return to Office has been... unfriendly.

Advice to Management

Cut out some of this red tape. All orgs should be on the same page about what procedures are important, and we need fewer HR-based web portals, not more.
