Pros

Great team mates and a great, if waning, culture. Good package and perks. Ability to have impact on globally known products.

Cons

The company is in a state of AI existential threat. If you work on AI, your org has too many resources, too many demands, too little direction, poor planning. If you work anywhere else there are no resources at all.
