Pros

Good people, non-toxic work environment, good work-life balance, and flexibility. Pays slightly better than no-name companies, defense contractors, most startups, and most aging big tech companies.

Cons

Company too big, leads to politics, which leads to poor product decisions. Siloed verticals, usually no bonus, total compensation low compared to top companies.

Advice to Management

Customers know what they want. Listen to them.
