      Pros

      Great work/life balance, flexibility, and benefits. Most colleagues were friendly and nice to work with. Ability for IC career progression.

      Cons

      High level of bureaucracy, need many people to sign off to move forward. Some colleagues and leadership were old-fashioned. Transition in leadership in my dept led to team decline. Recent trend of large layoffs based on what makes revenue, leading to projects that were more user-centric being cut.
