Pros

It is mostly a 9-to-5 work culture that used to be stable, and you can get a fast promotion if you work hard in the eight hours.

Cons

There was mediocre pay, and it is no longer stable, especially in the AI org. There were lots of changes and re-orgs every couple of months, disrupting promo velocity.
