Pros

Very good health benefits, free snacks, nice offices, and global mobility.

Cons

They are hiring smart people and turning them into coding monkeys. Before, each software engineer had a chance to manage their own projects and came up with their own ideas to solve problems. Now, with all these agile idiotic practices, which do not fit the business, you do what you are told to do. New team leaders are practicing nano-management. If you are smart, you are screwed. Also, you will start to feel like you are working in India.

Advice to Management

Stop promoting micro-managing team leaders. The business is mature. Stop pretending otherwise. Stop using new "technologies" for no reason. Please have real diversity in the workforce. 90% of the engineering team is from two of the most populated countries in the world. And they are promoting a big brother culture.
