Pros

Great place to work with good benefits and competitive compensation.

Most roles do not require high levels of effort.

Many smart peers.

Cons

Career growth can slow down after the first 5 years, unless you want to work hard or play the game to get promoted. Most things are massively over-engineered. High-value, un-sexy projects are frequently overlooked and underfunded, despite lip service to the contrary.

Advice to Management

Fix the rewards system to encourage reasonable long-term investment and prioritization.
