Pros

Great benefits, company seems to stand for the right things, and work-life balance is taken seriously.

Cons

Performance management is a joke. There's far too much bureaucracy and/or obstacles to getting things done. It's not as welcoming to new tech as advertised, with lots of old thinking and repeating bad patterns. SRE is not taken seriously at the highest levels, which trickles down to all lower levels.

Advice to Management

OnePipeline is crippling. The premise is great, the implementation is horrendous. Concourse CI is an example of a lego-like approach that would allow for formally approved pipeline stages that could be combined to create compliant, yet flexible, pipelines for teams around the company.
