Pros

Some progress in agentic AI.

Cons

Oh my god. Where do I start? You will be disciplined for the slightest error. Or rubbing someone the wrong way. Anti learning culture. Excessive micromanagement in AWT. No autonomy. Excessive restrictions over what AI and technology to use. There is no cutlery in the office. Not even glassware or plates. I've seen colleagues eat cake from paper cups. In an 11T AUM company. Blame culture. Middle managers will throw you under the bus to save their own skin. It literally feels like you're a stormtrooper in the Galactic Empire.

Pros

Respectable company, working with smart people for the most people.

Cons

Huge company, can be hard to navigate, almost impossible to get fired so good workers pick up slack for bad works. They need to trim fat faster and better
