Pros

Job stability and a lot of opportunities to transfer internally provided you pick the right leader

Cons

Getting too bureaucratic and the company makes it more difficult to climb up the ladder while they bring industry hires making existing leaders to sigh away from the company. There is an Un-regretted Attrition Target that managers has to meet where even a solid individual gets bottom ranked, so yea ranking is still there just covered with icing

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
