Pros

The benefits were amazing. Working remotely was easy. The pay was decent. People recognize the name when you tell them where you work.

Cons

The culture is very corporate and "political"; appearances matter more than results. Management (in my piece of the enormous puzzle) rarely has any deep technical knowledge of the products their folks are working on, or who in their teams is actually competent and/or productive.

SDLC is often a throwback to the 1990's waterfall methodology. Many developers expect to be told exactly what code to write, and there are no formal or serious efforts to share code or assets across product teams.
