Pros

* Never a shortage of projects to keep you busy * Structured environment in which to grow skills * Do you like scale? We've got it. * Clear career path and opportunities if you are good at what leadership cares about * Decent benefits and fair compensation * Work/Life balance was a theme coming from leadership a while back. If you are very careful managing your time, you can have a life most of the time

Cons

* No broadly accepted vision or strategy for the company * Executive management not in touch with day to day realities * Sometimes tense relationship between product management and development

Pros

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Cons

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
