Pros

Great culture Very smart peers for most part Competitive salary + perks & benefits Management recognizes smart and hard workers Reasonable work life balance outside of peak period Management communicates company's directions as required

Cons

Little to no career advancement plan Promotions are seen as retention tools rather than career advancement opportunities Performance expectations and reviews are somewhat superficial Lately there have been a few cases of bad hires and sometimes poor performance is tolerated More process and hence less flexibility

Pros

I work with diverse and supportive people. Teams and leaders demonstrate the will to respond to worker needs with kindness and respect. On the operational level, teams are highly flexible and adapt quickly to changes when provided proper support. Work-life balance is high priority for the people I interact with.

Cons

The company has difficulty holding on to talent in tech fields since a good chunk of the focus has to be allocated to art/design and production instead. CEOs come and go every few years, leading to instability. For some teams, the process remains overly complex and inefficient because of misalignments between leadership/engineering and ops team users. No formal humanist policy around AI & robotics yet.
