Pros

- Good work/life balance - A reasonably interesting product with its own set of challenges - Beautiful offices in many different countries - Quality of design matters

Cons

- Easy to hide in the organizational shadows and do very little work - Over-sensitive culture infused with strong 'woke left' narratives and not afraid to push it in your face! - Status quo management and development culture.. repeat that week's popular phrase as stated by executives and you'll do well - Heavy in the management layers - Inappropriate leveling criteria for engineers, leading to low technical competence
