Pros

Good pay & benefits Overall good culture

Cons

Job security isn’t guaranteed. There have been frequent layoffs and redundancies across the company. The organization is also pushing AI into many areas. It’s not inherently bad since it speeds up work, but it does come with consequences. Many roles are being reduced or eliminated because of it.
