Pros

The engineering organization has such a great culture. The leadership is amazing - they're supportive of personal and career growth and give room for plenty of healthy work life balance. As with any large company, this stuff is based on the team. Fortunately, engineering is small and therefore able to define it's own path. The organization uses lots of technologies, so there's always a ton to learn. It's clear that technology matters, but they also care a lot about the success of the business. The company runs on sports - sports metaphors, exciting videos to get you pumped up, clothing discounts, and encouragement to run and help test the apps. This doesn't suit everyone, but I think it's great fun! Additionally, Under Armour handled the 2020 pandemic well by shifting to remote work, and they started running sessions to help us understand racism and related issues (this has been insightful and interesting, personally).

Cons

As several other reviews state - engineering has never had a great relationship with product. That's mostly due to conflicting priorities at the top level. Individually, everyone is great to work with.

Pros

Good employee benefits, Fun company to work for, people are nice

Cons

Difficult to work with upper level management. Also they rarely give internal promotions. More common they fill positions from the outside so not a lot of growth chances.
