Pros

Generally very good, bright, enthusiastic people to work with, doing interesting things

Cons

Senior management are completely out of touch and trying to enforce chaotic, and ill-thought out re-organizations, with no timeline which are making talented and experienced staff disillusioned, if this continues for much longer, I fear an exodus. Also, the overly corporate environment is creating the wrong culture amongst the workforce.

Pros

A lot of nice people and great books to work with.

Cons

Very antiquated systems. Sales teams and a lot of teams are in bubbles. There are a good amount of managers and higher ups that have been there for a while (10-30 years) and they don't like change, make their teams life hell, and keep them more siloed.
