Pros

Great work environment with supportive colleagues. There’s generally no pressure, flexible working conditions, and a good level of autonomy. The experience largely depends on your manager, but micromanagement is rare. Work schedules and tasks are clearly defined. One of the advantages of being part of a large company is a relatively low-stress environment compared to startups. Good pension plan and medical insurance included.

Cons

The role can become repetitive after a few years. The company is investing heavily in AI designed to automate parts of the job, and employees are required to use and help train these tools. There are concerns that large-scale layoffs may eventually affect the team as well. Team goals tend to change every quarter, which can make it more challenging (but not impossible) to consistently meet performance targets. As a result, salary increases are typically modest, usually around 2–3% per year.
