Pros

Great salary Good benefits High bonus for a tech company

Cons

Good technical decisions often take lower priority than getting it done quickly, resulting in lots of technical debt. Management are more focused on delivering something at a given date rather than something that actually works. Theatrics to satisfy higher-ups are common. Very hard to change any existing process, many of which are very outdated. Development practices are archaic. Rarely uses the latest technologies. It's a large company so it's easy for people to hide away and do nothing If most of your team is in the US, you'll have to work later hours.

Pros

Giant international corporation with unlimited resources. Multiple locations around the country and the globe with tons of jobs that are open for internal transfer (with some considerations). Generally high pay range.

Cons

Giant international corporations treat you as an unlimited resource. They use "Unlimited PTO" model for Sick and Vacation time, which I feel is a misnomer and a disingenuous concept as a whole. Unrealistic fixation on making employees use AI with no clear plan or direction on how it should happen.
