Business Outlook

Pros

Great people and personal freedom. Ability to gain experience working on applications at scale. Teams have full ownership of their services and the organization is not terribly siloed.

Cons

Slowly becoming more like a large corporate environment and losing the startup mentality. Large company-wide projects that add little actual value constantly suck up your time. Losing a lot of top talent as the top tier job market is opening up to full remote.
