Pros

Total compensation is ok. Amenities are decent.

Cons

Company lacks focus and direction. Multiple teams on wildly different technology stacks. Developer tools and support are not prioritized. Often don't have the infrastructure or tools needed to accomplish a task. Developer education and onboarding is left to teams. Re-orgs are frequent. Managers are not held to a consistent standard across teams.
