Pros

They support their employees and treat them like humans. Very caring response to Covid. They don't support A**holes in the company which removes a lot of the toxic nature you get from tech companies. The leadership truly appears to care about human health. Have strong market strategy that they are clear on articulating. Though don't seem to have clear plan of how to deliver the product portfolio vision for that market strategy.

Cons

- unclear on their product portfolio architectural strategy - not a lot of strong architectural vision in any department - no clear plan of how to get decision alignment. so departments silo up in order to make local decisions and move faster. - Quality of work comes second to volume of work. - live and die by heroics by individual contributors.
