Pros

- Low-stress environment - Friendly coworkers, good culture - Great work/life balance, easy to leave work at home - Sometimes interesting work - Mature processes means projects feel well-organized (depends on team) - Opportunities to move around in R&D and try new things

Cons

- Lots of corporate-speak from upper-management, with sometimes strange focuses (like a pointless rebranding campaign) - Mature processes also means process-heavy which brings a lot of overhead - Slow-moving, mature business which is stable but unexciting - Pay is low relative to other tech companies (but so are expectations) - Lots of work areas feel unimportant and lacking in business impact
