Pros

Very interesting problems and a lot of passion amongst the foot soldiers to solve them.

Cons

Culture has gradually disintegrated to the point of non-existence and what is left of it across the various teams is incredibly antimeritocratic. Disproportional energy is put into discussions and plans on how to solve problems with little regard for ever actually putting that vision into action. Lots of switcheroos and politics coupled with little regard for the employees who make up the engine that drives the company mission to reality. Talent is leaving in swarms and it's unlikely the course can be corrected.
