Pros

Mid-level employees make the workplace enjoyable, great perks, decent benefits.

Cons

Inconsistent hiring practices, miscommunication from the top down Flawed product releases result in wins for teams who launched them, but negatively impact customer-facing teams, and the tools to support those teams are not prioritized. Lots of gaps between corporate and facilities functions.
