Pros

Good pay is the only thing I think of.

Cons

Monolithic repo with no standard engineering practices. All 500+ engineers work on the same monolith, and the company just cares about new features. There are multiple incidents every day, and the number will only grow with the bad engineering practices at play. The middle management throws software engineers under the bus when there are any incidents. Overall, a bad place if you value your mental peace or if you want to grow as an engineer.

Advice to Management

Upper management believes in “running hard.” What they don't seem to understand (rather deliberately) is that they get a disproportionately high return on investment on running hard as compared to individual contributors. Motivation will not be the same. The company didn't even give a Diwali gift to employees in the name of saving money when they have $500mil+ in the bank. It's not even about the gift; it's about the gesture.
