Pros

Lots of variation in the kind of work you can do and the types of culture you can find due to the sheer size of the company (don't like your team? transfer to another!) Unlimited PTO is a huge plus, never have to worry about taking time off for anything, even last minute Drs appointments Health insurance is pretty great

Cons

The pay is lower than most other companies in the area, interesting/impactful work can be hard to find, and there has been very little stability in terms of layoffs
