Pros

Salary structure and payout were competitive at the time of hiring and matched well with other major paymasters in the industry. If your role is more independent and individual contributor (IC)-focused, the work culture can be supportive and stable.

Cons

Promotions can often get delayed unless you maintain strong rapport with leadership. If your manager or leader is not technically sound or supportive, customer concerns may frequently be treated as escalations against employees rather than being handled collaboratively.
