Pros

Occasionally there are some fun and interesting projects to work on. There are also some really incredible people to work with.

Cons

Culture supports avoidance of accountability - it's much easier to blame someone else for failure than accept responsibility for your contribution to it. People get promoted based on who they know, not necessarily because they've earned it. At one time, it wasn't like this.

Pros

Great, and I mean great benefits.

Cons

Poor local culture, everybody is in their own clicks and don't deviate from them. Not a huge amount of office friendliness. Not many team building exercises, and qa gets left out of alot. If you're not a developer, you will have a yard time socially. Coffee is the worst I've had at a company ever. Return to office was not handled right, and the wfh policies were written very vague by a local manager, but what they actually wanted was very specific and was not communicated at all(avg of 1 per month over the course of a year). This lead to a problem where I was denied a wfh request to grieve a dead pet because I used wfh 2 weeks earlier to register a new car ( that I got solely for work commute)
