Pros

Collaborative culture, strong engineering standards, and opportunities to work on impactful projects. Management encourages learning and experimentation, and work-life balance is generally respected.

Cons

Some processes can be slow to change, and cross-team communication occasionally feels siloed. Career progression paths could be more clearly defined.
