Pros

- Solid work/life balance - Smart and generally friendly colleagues - Competitive (but not exceptional) compensation for area and role - Diversity and Inclusion initiatives remained even when other major companies (looking at you, Target) started to drop them

Cons

- Horrible performance management culture forces you to constantly think about performance reviews for 5-6 months out of the year - One strike policy for a negative performance review combined with twice-annual reviews and competitive stack ranking process ensures you're never secure in your role - Constant reorgs can be hard to keep up with - Shifting priorities make it hard to have ownership over work or to have a say in your projects (but this could have just been my org)
