Pros

The people and the culture. Genuinely open, family friendly and relentlessly positive. I've never worked for a company so invested in what their people bring to the role. The company also encourages (and gets wide participation from its employees) in voluntary work in the community and I've been surprised how much I've enjoyed that aspect to working there. I'm genuinely a better person for having worked there.

Cons

For many, agile at Gap is at best a prescriptive set of tasks to be performed rather than something that is genuinely adaptive. Transient project teams with heavy contractor:FTE ratios mean that the emphasis is too often to design for the immediate task and the minimum viable employee.

Pros

Good health benefits, some 401k match

Cons

12 hour shifts, subpar bonus', limited upward mobility as managers and upper management did not want to promote from within and risk operational change causing productivity decline
