Pros
Work-life balance is there, you can truly work 40 hours a week or less and still succeed. Summer hours are great, benefits are great, 401k matching is awesome. This is the perfect place to finish your career and coast into retirement. Also, looks great on your resume if you are early-career.
Cons
Duplicate work. The business has tension between "buy" vs. "build" and often has external vendors (or recently-acquired startups) competing against internal teams to build solutions. Vendors often win, which can be demoralizing for FTEs. Lots of work gets abandoned. Internal teams need to dedicate a lot of bandwidth to selling their work rather than doing their work. Huge organizational complexity. Death by meetings. So many meetings.
