Pros

Modernizing of technology stack.

There are some really great managers who do want you to succeed.

Flexibility with choosing projects sometimes, flexible hours.

Gym.

Cons

As others have mentioned, bureaucracy and red tape, in addition to heavy dosing of politics.

Blatant nepotism, especially within the network of former Goldman Sachs employees.

Engineering middle management emphasizes and rewards the wrong set of behaviors.

Most senior/high-level positions (and corresponding SVP titles) are given to new hires rather than loyal, long-time employees.

Advice to Management

Reward loyalty and take care of your committed employees.
