Pros

Great managers, great opportunities to work on interesting things. Clear path for career progression. Stock awards based on annual performance, contributions are generally noticed and rewarded.

Cons

Heavily siloed into particular areas, high ops burden makes projects drag on for years instead of months. Not enough time spent on R&D work. "Office centric company" culture will probably make me jump ship as I've had my best year ever working remotely.
