Pros

Great brands, some great people, easy place to live

Cons

Not at all tolerant of anything different, if you're not a white male with an MBA from an Ivy League, or lucky enough to be the token woman or person of color you will not succeed. Culture is not tolerant of diversity, nasty comments, threatening behavior.

Good work life balance, many people fully remote or hybrid

Pros

Always busy with challenging work.

Cons

Office politics slows things down, seems like some of the work is about checking a box and not about really creating value or improved processes.
