It's not one company; it's a million small companies all with different cultures
Pros: Salary was decent; work from home was nice.  My immediate leader was fantastic and some of my colleagues were outstanding.  I had a solid team that I grew myself.  Internal collaboration tools were good, but prob should have been better at an org that size.  I had a great career oppty, provided by my direct leader.
Cons: HR and talent management in general was just awful like something from the dark ages in terms of how they managed top talent.  Leadership above my direct leader was a hodge podge of backstabbing and political games, with a prison-like feel where you shank someone before they have a chance to shank you.  Far and away, the most unprofessional behavior I've ever seen in my 20+ year career came from senior leaders with GVP and SVP titles.  Most good people and good leaders led strong teams in spite of senior leadership not because of it.  I guess if you are far enough down you don't see it, but at a certain level it's just power games instead of doing what's right.  It feels like the company succeeds via sheer momentum and scale.
