Pros

Free snacks and food. Annual trips abroad to Estonia.

Cons

Inexperienced tech leads who were promoted only on the basis of tenure at the company. Cross team collaboration was incredibly difficult. "Autonomous" teams were only interested in their vertical and wouldn't give you the time of day. Senior product managers having no idea about the basics of agile methodologies Product engineering role was incredibly stressful - you're expected to do everything an engineer does along with everything a product manager does whilst PMs do nothing. Leadership were terrible - it felt like a cult most of the time with everybody saying how great the CEO was.
