Pros

Good for CV reputation and professional learnings esp data analytics

Cons

treat staff like idiots - 'frugal' is the word they use, in fact it is more like cutting corners. People get demotivated and leave making more work for those left behind. Senior management take pride in their buollshit macho aggression. Thisck skin needed.

Pros

Very strong IT engineering, lots of extremely smart people, plenty to learn, interesting tech challenges. Minimal formalism, engineers often have direct contacts with their business customers. Generally, there is very little balance, practically everybody I've met in different parts of organization were true professionals.

Cons

Lack of formal testing organization. Production support is performed by developers (pager rotation), you'll often get paged in the middle of the night just to find out that something broke somewhere having nothing to do with what you are supporting and people have no clue whom to page. Engineers don't last long (many leave in 1-2 years), turnover is pretty high. Benefits are rather mediocre for a large company.
