      Pros

      Competitive benefits - medical plan options, 401k matching, ESPP, annual stock refresh, annual company bonus (recently cut from 50 to 25 RSUs), unlimited PTO, sick pay In-office perks (pre-pandemic) - free snacks, subsidized food, fun events Pandemic support - extra paycheck at the start of the pandemic, some organizations have designated no-meeting days (not all managers respect them), flexible working schedules

      Cons

      Leadership is lacking - big egos, reactive, politicking, top-down decision making Limited career development - opportunities/promotions are reserved for management favorites vs high-performers; large investment put into hiring with very little effort to support, grow and retain existing employees In-person culture - requiring people back in office, limited remote opportunities, indecisive about vaccination policy

      Pros

      Excellent engineering talent and knowledgeable coworkers. Strong engineering culture with high code quality standards. Modern technology stack and opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise software. Good work-life balance compared to many tech companies. Competitive compensation, benefits, and employee perks. Collaborative environment with supportive teammates. Opportunities to learn new technologies and grow technically. Stable development processes and mature SDLC practices. Strong emphasis on testing, code reviews, and software quality. Flexible work arrangements (depending on team).

      Cons

      Large organization means decision-making can be slow. Significant amount of process and bureaucracy before changes reach production. Cross-team dependencies can slow delivery. Career growth can depend on organizational priorities and manager support. Frequent reorganizations can shift priorities and disrupt long-term projects. Innovation may move slower than at smaller startups. Internal tools and processes can sometimes feel overly complex. Communication between teams can occasionally be inconsistent. Like much of the tech industry, the company has experienced layoffs, creating uncertainty for some employees. Promotions can take time and require navigating multiple approval levels.
