Pros

Use of latest and greatest technology. Get a day in a week to work from home.

Cons

Not a very good appraisal process. Setting up year end goals and objectives has no meaning. Your faith is completely decided by your manager, even if you are outstanding no one cares until your manager sets you up for success. Employees don't even know who the HR is and they are completely controlled by higher executives. Salaries and benefits are much lower than the market.

Pros

The people. I worked with genuinely talented, hardworking colleagues who showed up for each other and for the work, even when leadership made that hard.

Cons

Leadership at the senior level was chaotic and unclear, and it trickled down into everything. Projects routinely landed with little to no notice, leaving teams scrambling instead of planning. Budgets were micromanaged from the top while strategic direction was not — a strange mix of tight control over spending and almost no clarity on priorities. Communication from senior leadership rarely made it down to the people actually doing the work, so teams were often the last to know about decisions that directly affected them. There was also a clear undercurrent of fear among some senior leaders that discouraged any real innovation or experimentation — better to play it safe than propose something new. If you're someone who thrives on clarity, planning, and a culture that rewards new ideas, this is not that environment.
