Pros
- talented and capable colleagues, good bosses - as long as the work gets done, you have a lot of freedom regarding how you do your work, very flexible - good WLB, no RTO mandates (so far)
Cons
- personally perceived lack of clarity from leadership and management regarding the direction. AI seems to be the solution to every problem - increased bureaucracy and red tape, processes take longer, communication is not as good as it was before, and it feels more difficult to "just get stuff done" (the typical downsides of a big corporation) - personally perceived increase of office politics in higher management
