Pros

Good place to work in general. Strong company culture with values I support - diversity, trust, integrity. Company can progress (and has progressed) quickly and strongly in the right direction when vision, organization and technical knowledge are aligned.

Cons

Complex organization, team conflicts and legacy silos make changes and collaboration difficult. Decision are often won by spectacular demos and rhetorical tricks, deep understanding and analysis is rarely used as a decision tool despite large consequences. Regarding technology, with few (but notable) exceptions there is a pervasive tendency to reinvent the wheel instead of being guided by industry standards, leading to effort spent at the wrong place.

Pros

Lots a very smart and dedicated professional colleagues. Autonomy for a while let us solve lots of technical problems quickly. A small office felt much like a small company with the resources of a large one.

Cons

Being acquired by ever larger companies has meant every growing bureaucracy. Many of the larger locations are large and impersonal.
