Pros

The culture is more supportive than competitive/toxic; quite decent work-life balance; good benefits - especially 401k; heavy emphasis on utilization of AI to support most job functions but with risk and safety in mind.

Cons

Changes are quite fast-paced and growth can be slow. Experience can be very team, project, and division specific as with any big company.
