Pros

The company might fetch compensation on par. There were great minds, though some left. There was access to the latest technologies within its own arena.

Cons

It is highly bureaucratic in recent years. If you can burn more hours, join and want to be a yes-boss. It has deteriorated largely post-COVID, and a lot of smart and good engineers left.
