Pros

A genuinely supportive culture where colleagues are willing to help and share knowledge. There's a collaborative atmosphere that makes it easier to ramp up on complex and high-stakes work

Cons

Like any large organization, the size can occasionally slow things down — processes and approvals aren't always fast, and it can take time to get alignment across teams.
