Pros

1. Excellent for fresh grads 2. Work Life balance (depends on your team and manager) 3. Great benefits and vacation policy 4. Very laid back (it's a pro because many people with families and kids love this)

Cons

1. Very slow growth 2. Preference to number of years of experience rather than talent (e.g. 10 years experience candidate will get good bonus/growth than 8 yr experience more talented person) 3. Very laid back (it's a con because I prefer fast paced environment) 4. Worst growth in tech stack 5. Worst GC sponsorship policy

Pros

Forward thinking company with good overall work/life and internal mobility for career advancement despite being a large public organization.

Cons

4 days in office feels unnecessary given the business. Little to no equity based comp stings with stock soaring.
