Pros
Hiring tendencies seemed to value diversity. (Note: this could also be construed as a "con", due to some notable instances of nepotism and bias)
Cons
Poor work-life balance, unless you're a bully and/or boss. Culture is fractured and heavily siloed due to acquisitions and many remote offices. There is a huge disconnect and reality gap between the values and messaging of C-level executives and the rest of the company. Example: It was once said during the pandemic that "nobody should be afraid of losing their job" by company leadership. Meanwhile, in our remote office, the culture was tense and thanks to workplace bullying, firings, and large turnover, the team was understandably afraid of losing their jobs. Workplace bullies are rewarded and promoted while targets of bullying have no proper working procedure for recourse. HR and management will pay "lip service" to concerns and then do nothing to stop the bullying behaviors. Instead, they will start "papering your file" as it suits them to cover up their incompetency in management. Bullying behaviors such as workplace sabotage, gatekeeping, and verbal abuse are ignored at best, and at worst rewarded. Bullies are able to hide behind procedures and policies, some of which they created themselves, in order to torment and sabotage their targets. Example: Secret meetings were held that excluded the target of bullying and implemented breaking changes without communicating them to the targeted teammate(s). Then later when things the target(s) had worked on broke, as expected, the bullies would fling verbal abuse and accusations at the targets during a meeting in front of managers to try and make them look bad. Corporate culture and leadership do not value people. Instead, it loves money, processes, procedures, and an overly paranoid tinfoil hat style of security focus which creates tedium and toil for employees to deal with while creating very little value for customers.
