Pros

For many who work here, work life balance is good and if you are one of the "in crowd" your job is likely secure.

Cons

Corporate culture can become cold fast. There’s a strong push to emulate a startup environment, but the organization lacks the right people and foundation to support that shift. Some leaders are overly enthusiastic about AI without a grounded understanding of its practical realities.
