Pros

Decent work life balance depending heavily on what you do and the boundaries you set.

Cons

Corporate culture. Slow. Too many people want to be involved in making decisions which slows you down. Too many processes. Lacking extreme ownership mentality across company. Stock options are a complete joke. Yearly compensation adjustments lacking in incentives to tackle aggressive schedule and goals, barely covers inflation. Always wanting more out of employee performance but not willing to incentivize(stock options are expiring without ability to purchase shares granted)
