Pros

Talented coworkers and passionate peers Fun projects and work Decent compensation They feed you really good healthy food (commuters only)

Cons

Legacy software, bloated processes and management/leadership Typical corporation stuff, questionable workflows and development mindset Work silo/weak communication between teams leading to burnout, lack of understanding when it comes to development vision Leaders and point people are sometimes clueless to seemingly obvious or glaring problems until they are met with big backlash down the line Teams generally produce great results, but it could still been more effecient and better thought out
