      Pros

      - Big company and great brand name. - Compensation is average but not too bad. - Peers were really smart and helping and helped me learn alot while I worked there for 3.5 years. - Good work/life balance - Great benefits which includes medical, dental, really good 401k match, employee stock purchase options, time-off and sick leaves.

      Cons

      - Frequent workforce reductions create a sense of insecurity among employees. - Too much cost cutting going on. - Management says they are open and transparent but all decisions are hidden and mostly hit employees with a surprise. - Lot of Outsourcing going on in the Foster City, CA office and most of the work has already been outsourced to Bangalore. - Very hard to get a promotion. Very hard to get a raise so its a good idea to negotiate before you join the company.

      Pros

      - Easy commute if you live north of Seattle/Bellevue - Decent cafeteria - Decent compensation

      Cons

      - The level of apathy amongst colleagues is off the charts. Many people are simply coasting and collecting a paycheck. When you try to be a team player and pick up the slack, you simply become a target for blame. - Due to the extremely lax "return to office" policy, the office often feels quite empty when there is plenty of work to be done. Being onsite M-F often leads to more work with little support. - There is a culture of public shaming, with several meetings every week dedicated to project leads targeting individuals to make up for their own lack of technical understanding.
