Pros

- Good work culture. - Access to a lot of learning resources (both internal and external). - Lot of products to choose from, to work on.

Cons

- Really massive. You are lost in a crowd. - Lot of (planned) redundancies in work. Multiple teams may be working towards the same goal. Hence, internal competition between teams.
