Pros

Remote work and sabbatical every 5 years

Cons

There are a lot of managers who blame the people under them rather than take accountability for their poor decisions.

Managers and TLs want promos and will throw people under the bus whenever needed.

Work-life balance does not exist anymore.

Managers track every PR and will nitpick mistakes during performance conversations.

There is very little mobility upwards, and when asked about growth opportunities, they are shut down.

Micromanagement is very common.

Being remote means that if you aren't broadcasting your every win, everyone will assume you don't work.

Advice to Management

Upward feedback needs to be taken seriously and asked for more frequently.
