Pros

Generally, people are helpful.

There are plenty of AI resources. It is good if you are happy feeling accomplishment from anything other than solving core engineering problems. You are happy working on small-size, low-risk, fast-delivery, and no-real-learning projects.

Cons

It is bad for career growth if you have a startup or midsize company mindset, expect autonomy, prefer a bottom-up style of initiative, or want to venture into anything complex.

Management is not supportive and expects you to sell your proposal. There is some politics and a cult-type culture, with employees and PEs who choose to sideline you and give you criticism in reviews rather than to your face. The company is highly reactive to the market and urgency, and it is great at ignoring proactive, bottom-up advice.
