Pros

- Great place to start a career, and learn how to navigate corporate - Overall, decent software engineering practices - Can be a great place to work if you're on the right team

Cons

- Lots of internal politics - Knowledge/work silos - Decisions get made behind close doors - Toxic coworkers, will back stab you to get ahead - Positive reviews on Glassdoor do not reflect what the company is actually like to work for. They are reviews that were bought and paid for. - Uncertainty with career mobility - Managers will back stab you if they need to

Pros

Benefits including profit sharing and bonuses are great. The breadth of this company provides a great opportunity to try out different career paths or boost your current one.

Cons

In my current role, I am working overtime more often than I'd like with recognition that seems to only go so far until it sizzles out. That may be tied to the size of the company itself, where promotions work in a "trickle down" manner.
