Pros

Above market rate compensation Nice office, location, facilities

Cons

Quite political, a lot of under the table dealings Doing tech in a non-tech firm means it will never be the priority of the company, if you want to learn real tech do it elsewhere. You will be appreciated much more in a tech firm for your work and learn more too. Understaffed, people expected to do end to end work - ops, engineering, admin tasks, research, developments, all by one person. A company which values the contributions by tech would have dedicated headcount for each function. Compensation for corporate services has been scaling back in recent years due to review by management, while the market outside has only been getting more lucrative.

Pros

you can do well here if you are a backstabbing credit stealer

Cons

bad bosses treat people like disposable commodities. bad HR doesn't care about employee welfare and explains away high turnover under bad bosses as effect of good job market. toxic culture . scapegoating blame shifting is how people climb no psychological or emotional safety. workplace bullying is normal not exception poor EQ including senior HR poor people management skills boss use feedback as weapon to put down others you better not think or say anything boss dont like respect only shown to boss not people doing actual work boss say jump you can only ask how high not why we jumping off cliff no managerial courage to question bad ideas from bosses bosses dont know actual work ideas implemented based on rank and politics not merit people only concerned with own careers not whats right for company fake glassdoor ratings from PR interns No work life balance. No respect for people's personal time or contributions. Emails and meetings around the clock and people are expected to do actual work in own personal time. you won't be seen as a contributor unless you send emails at midnight and shoot down ideas your boss doesn't like. good workers won't be promoted, only back-stabbers and credit-stealers are.
