Pros

Decent pay. Projects are incredibly large and touch many teams and technologies.

Cons

Poor management, huge (5-10%) random layoffs are common. Many tools are built in-house and therefore lack the quality of documentation and support one finds with third-party and open-source tooling.

Advice to Management

Even a little bit of transparency about job security would be an improvement.
