Pros

They pay well. Work-life balance can be good.

Cons

Politics is high, not much room for advancement. Much internal bickering and they are known for their difficulty to work with. Consider it a temporary gig. Also, they do not do lay offs. I have seen multiple people let go without any sort of package. I have also heard that they are going to start laying the bottom 5% off every quarter.

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
