Pros
Company culture at the employee/colleague level is generally great. We have a lot of fun, people are really nice and friendly, and very professional. I've legitimately elevated my skills/experience by working with so many talented people.
Cons
Leadership always seems to suck (apart from maybe my direct manager, who is a bit of an outlier). They make poor decisions, they communicate poorly, they tend to speak in condescending ways, and they're just generally bad personalities to work with/under. Hierarchies are enforced and input from employees doesn't seem considered or respected, regardless of skills/experience. It's a lot of politics/positioning and attempts to blame others without publicly pointing fingers. Every year we do a re-structuring of some sort, but nothing changes. There's also been very limited opportunities for actual career growth/advancement (ie. responsibilities, title, salary), despite opportunities to grow skillsets.
