Great benefit all around (health, retirement, etc.).
The promo process is slow, and many things are outside of a candidate's control (e.g., when a project you work on can produce meaningful impact for the company).
There's a lack of top-down culture, which is both a pro and a con. Many teams can sometimes step on each other's toes and work on the same things, and eventually, there will be a re-org to sort it out (on average, every 2 years).
Unfortunately, for the engineers who worked on the deprecated products, it will be hard to justify two years' worth of work for a promotion if this happens.
