Pros

* smart coworkers * some technical talent * work life balance is getting worse but still decent

Cons

* heading in the wrong direction -- RTO days keep bumping up, got rid of monthly invest in your self day which was around for years * performance management -- more who you know then what you are doing. I got the highest possible rating and then a significantly lower rating next cycle despite doing better work due to getting caught in a political battle. Things like this are not uncommon

Pros

Great benefits and work life balance ( really depends on your org and the team though).

Cons

Personally not a big fan of the performance management being conducted and how it can become competitive amongst your peers to garner a good rating or promotion.
