Pros

Collaborative teams, clear processes, and a stable environment that allows engineers to focus on building good products. Management generally provides direction without micromanaging, and cross-functional communication is smooth. Good exposure to real-world product cycles and mature engineering standards.

Cons

Decision-making can be slow due to large organizational structure. Innovation pace is sometimes limited, and getting approvals or aligning multiple departments may take longer than expected. Career progression paths could be clearer for junior and mid-level roles.
