Pros

Can work on some big projects, scope to transfer between departments, fairly open matrix organization for communication.

Cons

Overall too bogged down in the scale of the company. Tech debt is huge. Projects get cancelled left right and centre. Management used to trust employees, but top-down mandates have taken that away.

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.
