Pros
  • Good to have on your resume.
  • Some good teams to retire in.
  • Some teams have good managers.
Cons

Bad culture, getting worse by the day with Amazon culture seeping in with every new hire.

Bad work-life balance in a major chunk of the company.

Politics.

Bad career progression (even when you have bad work-life balance and work a lot).

Advice to Management

Listen to their employees. There’s a systematic suppression of people to align with whatever they are trying to push in any leadership team.
