Pros

nice colleagues, good PTO, nice to have AWS

Cons

HR is a joke. C&P is a HUGE joke. They feel they rule the organization and nothing can be done without them. They force projects to be bloated with admin staff, but then don't trust the admin staff to do the due diligence on anything which means they become a bottle neck for everything.
