Pros

Work/Life balance. The culture really makes taking breaks and time off a priority. Work hours & working from home or remotely is very flexible. Actively trying to avoid layoffs while shifting focus.

Cons

Product Management driven. The Product Managers are looked to as visionaries who define the product, when most seem to have been put in the role simply because of their leadership/sales skills. Your role may change. Every year with the re-org the focus of departments is likely to change, sometimes drastically. Certain teams are still struggling to add value in a newly established business model. In order to avoid lay-offs, employees are often shoe-horned into roles they may not like or be necessarily best qualified for.

Pros

Work life balance ,great people ,sharp minds ,good benefits

Cons

November is always in fear ,even though you are strong performer in team if your management does not like you they will use this time to kick you out without giving any reason. Every year they reduce the workforce (100-150 people) and spend more time and money to hire new people from outside ,this reduction mainly happens in North America. Not clear direction from upper management.
