Pros

Its a big company and has its perks and good opportunities to lead projects as an intermediate and even for the junior engineers which is great for the experience

Cons

Tedious to get things done, the last 2 years they haven't really seemed to know what direction they want to move in, constantly switching plans and moving people around

Pros

Remote work is still an option, when many companies are going back to in person.

Cons

Leaders don't care about their employees. Managers are allowed to game the system for annual reviews to give their teams the raises and bonuses they want, regardless of actual staff performance. Everything must be AI, regardless of what customers want or need. Focus is on building shiny new toys instead of fixing core accounting system issues, and what's shiny changes every few months.
