Pros

A pretty open company where cross-team knowledge sharing and collaboration is common. There are no silos here.

A lot of different areas of the company to work on, and they're friendly to filling positions with internal candidates.

Modern tech stacks and best practices are used in many places, which means you'll stay up to date with what's industry-leading.

Time is allocated for pet projects and innovation.

Great benefits and an overall positive culture.

Cons

Open culture to the point of it being a con at times. Be prepared to hear all about people's personal beliefs in the workplace, not just at the proverbial water cooler. The internal developer platform constantly sends out "breaking changes" notices. A lot of contractors in some teams (especially a con when they build a service then get switched out by the contracting company). A lot of comfortable middle management.

Advice to Management

Your middle management ranks are filled with people who are extremely comfortable and seem more interested in collecting a paycheck than doing the best work of their lives.
