Pros

You may never find a better company culture that values respect, employee feedback, openness, and diversity.

Cons

Planning and coordination across teams are very hard in such a large organization. You may experience a lot of sub-optimal local decisions that conflict with the overall set of goals of the organization.

Advice to Management

Avoid changing critical goals every semester. Most of the hard and large changes take a few semesters to get the results through. Changing them can deviate engineering focus and attention to the last mile where you actually realize the objective.
