Pros

Good work-life balance, great vacation package (25 days per year). The small elite team of developers I work with is extremely talented and friendly. Smooth onboarding, fair compensation. Flexible WFH. It should be noted that some or all of these depend on your business unit and manager. I don't have other information on other business units / teams.

Cons

My time has been a blast so far. No cons. Manager handles the political bs.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

Forward thinking company with good overall work/life and internal mobility for career advancement despite being a large public organization.

Cons

4 days in office feels unnecessary given the business. Little to no equity based comp stings with stock soaring.
