Pros

Engineers are treated with much more respect compared with other smaller companies I've worked with. Managers and leadership listen to Engineers when they raise concerns about tech debt, estimations and general software best practices instead of unrelentlessly pushing for arbitrary deadlines set by business teams.

Cons

So much bureaucracy and massive interconnectivity between teams means that development process can be very slow. Even the smallest changes require months of testing and validation and updating to new version of software and deprecating old packages can take years.
