Pros

-Great Client List -Lots of Career Opportunities -CEO is Smart, With A Vision to Go from "Engineering" to "End to End" -Some Leaders are Very Inspiring

Cons

-The Creative Work Was Getting Less and Less Inspiring, Focus Was Just on Revenue and Selling Dev Work -Middle Management Was Given Lots of Leeway to Execute the CEO's Vision, But Doesn't Know How to Make the Change Happen, Leading to Chaos and a Self-Promotion Culture -It Was A Giant Company And You Could Feel It. Interactions Outside Project Work (HR, Superficial DEI, Hours of Mandatory Training) Felt Like Being on A Call with Comcast Customer Support

Pros

You get exposure to the very latest technology, and the company is implementing it in impactful, real-world ways. Even if you're not in a tech role, you naturally build deeper understanding in the latest technologies that you may never get exposure to at other companies. Truly global. Even for employees not in global roles, you still get good visibility into the company's global scale and impact.

Cons

Too much process around approvals which reduces speed of execution. Asked to step-up but then insufficient support provided. Two-faced behaviors of managers has become acceptable.
