Pros

Structured but not slow. Good tech and opportunities all things considered.

Cons

Best bet to get comp increase is to change companies. You don't get raises here even with promo so you gotta leave in ~2 years. They give new people FAT packages and don't do anything to retain current employees

Middle management's people leadership skills are questionable, depending on team culture is turning into a big corporation and WLB can be pretty bad.
