Pros

Above market rate compensation Nice office, location, facilities

Cons

Quite political, a lot of under the table dealings Doing tech in a non-tech firm means it will never be the priority of the company, if you want to learn real tech do it elsewhere. You will be appreciated much more in a tech firm for your work and learn more too. Understaffed, people expected to do end to end work - ops, engineering, admin tasks, research, developments, all by one person. A company which values the contributions by tech would have dedicated headcount for each function. Compensation for corporate services has been scaling back in recent years due to review by management, while the market outside has only been getting more lucrative.

Pros

Good vision, good talent (under bad management), market rate compensation

Cons

​Incompetent Leadership: Constant, chaotic reorganizations driven by new senior leads looking for short-term wins rather than sustainable engineering. ​Tone-Deaf Management: Townhalls are heavily curated to ignore genuine feedback regarding burnout and management debt. ​The "Silent Layoff" Strategy: Mass PIPs and aggressive performance grading are being used to quietly trim headcount, destroying team morale. ​Inefficient Ecosystem: Paralyzing security and risk processes block execution at every turn, while engineering teams are expected to run at 200%+ capacity. ​Inefficient HR: A heavy layer of senior HR personnel who offer zero practical guidance, zero empathy, and zero worker protection.
