Pros

Good Money Lots of aws They have enough money to fight through bad decisions.

Cons

Bad technology choices(which is fine) *but* committed to purely for political reasons. Strange tribal nature caused by a few individuals. Leaders prefer to leave decisions to lower level employees and blame them when things go wrong. Lack of direction from leaders. Infighting in the lower levels due to leadership style. Character sniping. Belief that more developers is more better. The entire company is built around a marketing idea that does not exist yet. Strange cult like HR process. They want you to be "All in" and will remove you if you are not.
