It's a mixed bag.
- Lots of resources and tools available.
- Plenty of scale is available to gain experience with.

It is very difficult to execute on cross-org projects. Most people are focused on their own targets, so unless your dependencies align exactly with another team's, you have to fight for support tooth-and-nail.
-
No one owns anything, so you sometimes have to fix problems or troubleshoot other components to get your own work done.
