Pros

Compensation is good, except even that is mediocre considering the long hours. It's a good brand name to get on your resume and quickly get out before you get your spirit amputated.

Cons

Horrendous work-life balance. Over-the-top fake-smiling, virtue-signaling BS, a rah-rah sweatshop packed with outdated, poorly designed/coded proprietary tech that needs constant support and maintenance. Leadership, including technical leadership, sucks and is always too busy hiding in never-ending meetings in order to avoid doing the actual work. Product owners are clueless and just parrot word-for-word "bright ideas" from above.

Advice to Management

Start praying to all known deities, because you're going to hell.
