Pros

Great people to work with.

Cons

Not much room for upwards mobility. Hard to be promoted as an AP and there are a lot of management changes so they focus on finding new leaders instead of promoting people at lower levels. Layoffs every couple of years. Lots of changes to teams so our roles are constantly changing/merging with other teams. Took away extra pay for AP’s that work holidays.
