Pros

Smart and supportive teammates, easy to learn from others Good work-life balance compared to most tech companies Exposure to large-scale systems and real impact projects Strong brand name and internal mobility options Decent pay, benefits, and job stability

Cons

Growth and promotions can be slow or process-heavy Bureaucracy in some teams slows down decision-making Depends heavily on your manager/team for experience Not always the fastest pace if you like startup-style work Some legacy systems / tech debt in older services
