Pros

Nice compensation package. Great people. Great name.

Cons

No mobility. Zero career opportunities. People get promoted for the wrong reasons. Brain drain. Knowingly shipping buggy software.

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

- Great work environment and company culture - Good Technology - Great flexible hours

Cons

- Annual layoffs. It happens every year in Oct-Nov before the end of their Annual year. Affected are mostly in high cost area such as US and Europe and they replace those with lost cost centers like India. - Very little chance of cross group movement. They prefer to hire from outside instead of giving inside opportunity unless you have connections then you can move into any position.
