Pros

Working on baseball for a living can be fun. Contributions impacting millions of customers feel cool before the luster wears off. There's a group of people within the company pushing for more inclusive and supportive culture, be they small in number and usually overruled by top leadership.

Cons

The company culture is a bit dated. They lock people in at whatever compensation they enter with few raises beyond cost of living. Being on call doesn't make much sense for many client devs given app submission time requirements, but they insist on it anyway to make upper management happy with "hair on fire" situations we can't remedy in the middle of the night. Team initiatives are often overruled by upper management and reorgs. Every time you get into a groove after 8-12 months, something will change and send everything into disarray. The "Game of Thrones" nature of the Commissioner's reports gets tiresome. The "free tickets" program is ridiculous and embarrassing. Taking a guest to the park saying "well, let's see if we can actually get into the game this time" is just silly.

Pros

Great fast paced job environment. Everyone there truly wants to be there. If you love baseball just a great place to be.

Cons

Management is very poor. Upper management in Production is a very “bro” environment. If you go drinking and play golf and can hang with the “bros” you are taken care of. Not at all great with females or diverse people. Very non diverse and extremely misogynistic environment. People, especially the head person(s) in production, would be suspended or fired in another less dysfunctional company. Also the leaders are really out of touch with what goes on below them. They rely heavily on middle management to run things while they hide from the decisions and responsibilities. I also found the HR dept to be specifically out of touch with the staff, what they do daily, and who is doing the actual work.
