Pros

Great pay and perks. It's great to work alongside top talent with innovative ideas, who genuinely want to do good work

Cons

Diversity and inclusion is a major issue here. Leadership lack openness and transparency on the topic. Unwillingness to codify competencies and career paths in a meaningful way makes career development difficult.
