Pros
  • Stability
  • Lots of computing resources at your disposal
  • Mature codebase
  • Great colleagues
  • Outstanding remuneration
Cons
  • Large company, so your project might seem small in comparison (even when it impacts millions of users).
  • Career management is on the onus of the employee, but this might not be a problem once you hit senior, which can be the steady state and you are comfortable with the work.
Advice to Management

More structured career progression: tailor a career path instead of the ad-hoc/individualized career advancement based on managers.
