Pros

I work in APO org where things are little streamlined. They do have good job security like no layoffs heard in the past few years and don’t see people PIPed often as compared to other orgs

Cons

No career growth or clear path on how you can move to the next level. Not sure if this is the case in other orgs too but there are little opportunities and no clear parh to showcase that next level criteria to get promoted.

Pros

Ambitious projects if you're in the right team. Typically great team-mates. Don't believe the memes, the ppl are not back stabbing jerks but are overall genuinely nice. Not constrained by budgets when building cool things. Tools while sometimes clunky are powerful.

Cons

Schizophrenic lack of focus, entire teams get split, merged and upended multiple times a quarter. Some product managers are disconnected from reality. It didn't use to be the case, the PM-Ts were previously top notch. You're pushed to vibe code everything. Established products with loyal customers are getting neglected. Newer VP level leaders don't seem to know what they are doing. Veteran OG VP level leaders are either leaving in droves or seem stressed or checked out.
