Pros

Lots of teams and good internal mobility mean you can find teams that are right for you.

Great benefits.

Good culture: people want to help each other, and it isn't hyper-competitive.

Decent diversity: still a boys' club in some places, but getting better and better at supporting women, POC, etc.

Cons
  • Some organizational issues.
  • Deadlines are tight and not always well managed.
  • Lots of processes and overhead to getting anything done.
  • Pay isn't great.
