Pros

Most positions allow you to be flexible about working from home but it really depends on your manager. Benefits are ok. There are some really kind and really intelligent people there, who are probably really frustrated with how things are going.

Cons

My colleagues are fun, intelligent, and kind but once you get director level and above, it becomes a completely different work culture. Everyone in the place is universally hamstrung by the 'T&O' group. Accomplishments working with that team are far and few between. It's all completely under resourced and under staffed with no time or allowance given to proper R&D. That means everyone else has to wait and make concessions to get anywhere. Everyone talks about being 'Customer Centric' but the customer always come in last. Unlimited time off is a joke and research has proven it's not as good as it sounds.

Pros

Decent benefits Hybrid WFH schedule Some really great direct managers

Cons

Chaotic and disorganized, with old outdated backend systems. Work performance and output not generally recognized: people who do very little work are often paid the same, or more than people who do double or triple the workload, and are allowed to continue with the company while other shoulder the load. Once you are on a team or part of a BU - good luck making a move to another team or BU. The place is a revolving door for a lot of positions, but once you learn a skillset they are unlikely to allow a move. The sales team runs this place, so be prepared to be bullied constantly by them, even when you are told to gatekeep.
