Pros

Huge portfolio of businesses and a huge learning opportunity. Solid compensation first 4 years.

Cons

Toxic environment driven by stacked ranked performance evaluation that pits team members against each other. Compensation falls drastically after 4 years as there is no path to promotion after layoffs and restructuring. Mandatory 5 day in office attendance with badge reporting creates tons of stress when trying to manage meetings over many time zones a long commute and family. It's become very day 2.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
