Pros

Some great people who love what they do. Company has a lofty mission, if they could only carry it out.

Cons

Organization so matrixed it is hard to get things done. Lots of competition for resources, lack of consistent prioritization, high turnover in tech. Not much understanding of what it takes to develop and sustain quality tech products.

Pros

People genuinely care about the mission and vision of the company. Very flexible work arrangements. I really felt my immediate managers cared about the work and my well-being. Colleagues were generally great to work with at an individual and team level.

Cons

Very high turnover within the technology organization. Competition between sub-groups has been counter-productive, with a lot of duplicated and wasted effort and too much talent walking out the door. To use a sports analogy, it's a constant rebuilding year!
