Pros

I really like the workplace culture. There's a good work/life balance, I get to work with lots of really talented people, and I've made a lot of friends here.

It's also easy to move around within the company if you're not satisfied with your current team.

Cons

Lack of diversity, especially in upper management. I also don't like how performance reviews are done. You're compared to people in your role at the same level, and a lot of times it feels like you're supposed to fit into this cookie-cutter model of what a good engineer should be like. A lot of the senior managers are hires from the outside and not people who have been promoted.
