      Pros

      Interesting high-scale global marketing, business, and product challenges to work on. Strong balance sheet and willingness to invest in internal and external growth. Reasonable compensation and benefits.

      Cons

      Management politics at all levels between and within groups gets in the way of progress. Cumbersome internal planning and decision processes that senior management override in the end anyway. Poor continuity in resourcing programs and products. Individual contributors treated as expendable resources.

      Pros

      Relaxing culture. family first. Stock performance is generally good for the recent two years and huge benefit if you're eligible for ESPP. Stable product with large customer base means you get opportunity to work on project with real impact.

      Cons

      1. Blind push for AI and leadership expect unrealistic efficiency improvement 2. Layoff every year in Feb (2024, 2025, 2026) and sometimes can feel the tension in team 3. Legacy tech stack with isolated and fragile infrastructure. Developer friction is a real pain. You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025. 4. Hiring freeze in San Jose... just expect more layoff coming up + frequent meetings at night / early morning across regions
