Pros

The culture and camaraderie within the UX department were great. The same can be said for the majority of PMs and POs involved with the projects.

Cons

It is a large company and difficult to achieve positive changes in how work gets done from a UX point of view. Upper management seems to be misguided on how to produce a great product, and there are also market pressures that get in the way.
