Pros

- Great WLB - You trade your time with money - No need to do anything and everything just happens - You need to know politics and no need to be intelligent

Cons

- Reorgs after reogs - Almost monthly layoff patterns, unless you've been with the company for over a decade or two - No one cares about your career growth, and they tell you that you own it yourself. - The lowest compensation in tech - No one delivers or builds anything, and everything is in the maintenance mode - The worst leadership and management - Your spot in the hierarchy matters for visibility and promotion

Pros

Great location. Good products. Fun culture. Sabbatical every 4 years.

Cons

Racist and highly political leadership. Just look at the racial diversity of the exec staff. Incompetent long timers who monopolize the middle management, does not let new talent to succeed. HR who has minimal understanding of the job, has too much power in the company. Unlimited vacation is a joke.

Terrible Toxic Work Environment

Pros

Salary and benefits are ok. Some departments I heard had a good work environment.

Cons

Very toxic environment in some teams, especially in Finance. Several people left because of bad management and bad employee treatment. I have worked at multiple companies and this is the worst place. There are people who are there for 15-20 years, buddies with each other, with an attitude to know everything, supporting each other up even if not complement or qualified. People with terrible management skills manage people. You can’t complain to HR because they won’t do anything. I was constantly analyzed why I said this or that, and from day 1 I was told what areas I had to improve on. From day 1! It was very unwelcoming. Your confidence is killed from the very beginning. There was unclear and inconsistent management advice, lots of criticism, gossips, frequent drama and conflict.
