Pros

Software tooling Interesting and relevant technologies Flexible work schedule

Cons

Upper management clueless, no direction or ownership of their failures Constant reorgs that disrupt teams Zero collaboration amongst teams, repeating same solutions over and over Inconsistencies amongst solutions (customer constantly changing between products that look CLOSE but not the same due to failures of managers to align this) Useless colleague survey they require you to do yet do absolutely nothing with the results Absolutely dreadful mid-year and full year colleague update, 2 hours of watching someone read bullets off a 200 count slideshow
