Pros

I’m in a good group with trustworthy managers. Ample opportunity to take on more responsibility and move up. Good culture and work/life balance. Good people for the most part.

Cons

The typical negatives with a big company, some unnecessarily clunky/unclear policies/systems, silos between departments, etc.
