Pros

Perks are top notch. Medical care including mental and LGBTQ health is very comprehensive. Coworkers are all very strong and good at collaboration.

Cons

Mass layoffs, I was impacted by it - 12,000 people, for me I was working remote and logged into my work computer to be redirected to a webpage where I was told I was laid off. Manager didn't even know I was gone till later in the day. It can be stressful and hard to achieve productivity levels that are required to get advancements in job, and not every oppurtunity is given to everyone, which made it particularly hard for me. I knew co-workers in other places who had AWFUL management, though it didn't apply to me.
