Pros

Strong compensation and benefits. External reputation.

Cons

Frequent organizational changes and restructuring can create uncertainty. Leadership decisions around automation and expansion are sometimes unclear at the team level, and communication between executives and employees can feel limited. Career development can also feel inconsistent depending on the organization.
