Pros

If you like a corporate environment you will feel at home - there are a lot of benefits such as extra (predetermined) vacation days for errands, group bonding events and so on.

Cons

Everything bad about corps and more. Senior management is chasing unattainable and undesirable dreams, middle management is clueless, and the frontline management is only bothered by making their team shine (many times at the cost of other teams). Every single level of management is flawed in one way or another, and as an employee it makes the job insufferable. No one cares about writing good clean code (or even making sure it works like it should and doesn't break anything else), and the priorities shift so often most projects get abandoned after the POC.

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
