Pros

Lots of good people, but frequently in inconsequential positions

Cons

Too many incompetent people in key positions. Too much terriorialism and an "us versus them" attitude between different groups. Too many over-hyped projects that don't add to the bottom line

Pros

Big scale. Good work-life balance. Smart coworkers.

Cons

Lack of product vision. Disparate tech stack split between internal tooling and more modern cloud providers makes the deployment story confusing.
