Pros

- Relatively higher pay versus peer companies. - You get to work with smart and talented individuals. - Good benefits - Great products

Cons

- Failure in leadership. The PIE model, which puts more emphasis on Image and Exposure to rise through the ranks, has caused the company's downfall. Extremely talented and technical masters leave the company while those who are good in bloating and exaggerating their results get to become leaders. As they lack mastery and understanding of the business, they blunder on their decision-making. - The company is not winning, and many (especially the higher bands) are waiting for packages to get out of the company.

Pros

Many intelligent people who are experts in their fields who are willing to help and provide advice (if they have time). Decent benefits and pay.

Cons

I mentioned time because many people are stretched and overworked. Work life balance is pretty bad and shows no signs of improvement. A lot of this can be attributed to near useless management. Every project is treated as absolute maximum priority but can still be dropped at a moment's notice. Work processes are horribly cumbersome and slow. Even small changes require many approvals but there are endless demands to "move faster".
