Pros

Solid foundation for existing/established products. Established investment in cloud services across organisation Market leading portfolios (but aging internal, supporting products).

Cons

A lot of product fragmentation for non-customer facing products. Siloed organisation leading to small, locally maintained apps that are often out-of-date. Slow product evolution, more comfortable with smallish iterations that larger initiatives, clear innovation with aligned cross-company involvement.

Pros

Awesome coworkers for young professionals. Paid licensing for a few months.

Cons

Micromanagement is out of control. Incompetent team leaders who are obsessed with power and metrics. Back to back calls, limited support, and nearly impossible effective communication between departments. Zero time to cultivate culture because you are taking calls every second of the day except for 30min/1hr lunch and two 15 minute breaks. You’re locked into your role for over a year (apprenticeship for around 60 days, then a year after promotion to associate) and your team leaders will not approve internal applications unless you are “eligible”.
