Pros

Decent pay for the area. Good amount of free stuff and cheap amenities. Have some stability, but that's quickly changing due to leadership decisions.

Cons
  • Too many directional changes that straight up make it impossible to "perform" unless you can somehow become buddy buddy with leadership.
  • Buzzwords abound with tons of random changes.
  • Too much process-related tasks (which don't get any attention at performance management cycles even if they can take days) are thrown on the developers, which slows down productivity.
  • Too many bloated internal platforms and tooling due to everyone "wanting to make an effort to influence."
