Pros

- Great product that actually helps people although those who developed them may have been pushed out of the company by toxic working cultures years ago.

Cons

Bureaucracy - Some managers / leadership should not be placed at leadership position at all, have no idea what they are doing, and will not allow any smart people to be around due to their own insecurity - Ladder-climbing and backstabbing - No transparency - Difficult to transfer to other teams despite it being technically encouraged by higher-ups
