Pros

Kind, good coworkers who are hard working, thoughtful, and genuinely trying to make the world better and more secure.

Cons

A vast number of Senior and middle management changes including the departure of many beloved leaders that are making the company "ordinary" and average with a side of toxic new management trying to speak down instead of steering and clearing roadblocks while listening to the people who want to help. There is a huge culture shift happening.

As a large organization, decision-making can sometimes be slow and require alignment across multiple stakeholders. * Organizational changes and shifting priorities occasionally create uncertainty. * Cross-functional processes can be complex, which can impact speed of execution.
