Pros

Ability to work in a multicultural environment. Subsidized lunches that are pretty decent. Interesting work.

Cons

Total comp is not competitive because of changes to bonuses (much smaller and shifted more to RSUs that will depreciate). The company has eroded benefits and perks as much as possible, but I'm sure they will find more ways. There is not much room for career advancement and your pay quickly becomes uncompetitive. Leadership values corporate speak without results more than competency. Things take too long to release to customers. There are too many priorities for the workforce so it leads to delays, burnout, and turnover. Employee evaluations are really just a popularity contest. The company cannot sustain its dividend payments for more than a couple years and needs to be acquired or go private to have a chance of survival. For now, there is a lot of restructuring, layoffs, toxic competitiveness, turf wars, and a focus on things that have nothing to do with improving revenue. Every time I come back from a few days office, there is an important departure or layoff.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO - only 3 days required in office

Cons

- Leadership does not foster a collaborative culture. Sometimes inappropriately mean, dismissive, toxic. - 3 days in office required. Seating is not assigned, so you do not have a guaranteed desk for your items unless you come in 4 days per week for 3 consecutive months.
