Pros

Access to work with some of the latest technologies in the industry. Work environment is professional. They are a leader in their industry which is motivational. Senior leadership is solid. Equipment for developers is readily available.

Cons

I can't speak for all lines of businesses but the one I worked for felt very disconnected from the rest of the company. I don't think this is intentional but just a bi-product of a large growing organization. I experienced regular turnover in my line of business which complicated the applications I worked on. I witnessed very little -- if any, recognition for our line of business. Free access to an important technology learning site (books, videos, courses) was being removed.

Pros

Nice people, modern technologies, good place to learn

Cons

Unrealistic expectations from the management, rigid waterfall process organization, pressuring feature demand taking precedence over addressing technical debt creates the situation of unmanageable and fragile product, leading to recurring failures and data losses, which, in turn, add the pressure on the development team. The development team is exhausted and underappreciated.
