Pros

work life balance friendly people nice office

Cons

poor direction from leadership, often its clear projects aren't going anyhwere but become it sounds good they persist longer than they should, fail fast and pivot mentality missing. poor recruitment, mixed bag of capabilities and skill sets on team. too many internal products being built for people that don't use them or not enough of user base to warrant that much effort/resourcing.
