Pros
The people and the culture. Genuinely open, family friendly and relentlessly positive. I've never worked for a company so invested in what their people bring to the role. The company also encourages (and gets wide participation from its employees) in voluntary work in the community and I've been surprised how much I've enjoyed that aspect to working there. I'm genuinely a better person for having worked there.
Cons
For many, agile at Gap is at best a prescriptive set of tasks to be performed rather than something that is genuinely adaptive. Transient project teams with heavy contractor:FTE ratios mean that the emphasis is too often to design for the immediate task and the minimum viable employee.
