Pros

- relatively good work life balance - nice colleagues - nice company to grow within, when joining as a more junior person - opportunities to change to a different team internally

Cons

- a lot of politics between senior leaders cause for difficulty when collaborating - making an impact and acting at speed is challenging cause you need to align with 15 people before you can do anything - multiple teams doing similar things - data driven in theory, many decisions are belief driven and are not necessarily verified after a while - a lot management layers, not many hands to do the actual work - decisions are usually made by directors or above, in other companies seniors can have more decision power...
