Pros

Free lunch and gym, nice office, great benefits.

Cons

No room for growth if you are a young professional. Your mental health depends on who your manager is. If you are lucky, you will have an experienced manager who will guide you and eventually inspire you. If you are not, you will find yourself micro-managed and eventually judged, working in an environment deprived of empathy. Each team seems to be part of a different company. The strategy is not clear and it is almost impossible to understand how decisions are made. There are people who have a power they should not have, as they are not prepared to manage other people. If not in the right team, this can be a "Burn out" culture company and lead you to diminish your ambition.
