Pros

Great place to work for. People are friendly in general. Jobs are fairly stable if you can get one here.

Cons

The higher you climb up to the corporate ladder, the more politics you have to deal on a regular basis. I guess it's common for most companies consist of 10,000 or more employees.

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
