Pros

- Great work - Knowledgable coworkers - Flexible scheduling

Cons

- Majority of managers not co-located with their direct reports - Annual reviews and raises not based on individual merit; managers rank their assigned group of direct reports 'best' to 'worst', regardless of differences in jobs/titles/duties, then allocates reviews and raises based on those comparative rankings.

Pros

nice people good work life balance

Cons

The UX department has taken major hits since the tech recession began in '22. The had a department head who really understood design and had exciting ideas for its development. Since his unfortunate exit, things just continue to go downhill. What was once a vibrant department with possibilities is a shrinking violet with a bunch of white-washed business consulting roles that they label under the HCD (human centered design) department. The future of product DESIGN here is very grim - less and less design work being replaced by the aforementioned consultant roles. Management continues to flail around trying to making the department profitable and each restructuring attempt makes me have less and less confidence in department. Expect to see mass exodus once job market improves. Salary below market rate. Raises and bonuses small enough to fit in your pocket.

Pros

Hires fresh talent and does well at training them. Benefits are halfway decent. Seems to be room to move around in the company if that is something you want to do.

Cons

Pay is not very competitive. It also seems a lot of your experience here depends on which project you are on. My particular project is extremely busy and not very well managed, but at least my manager is somewhat decent of a boss. Also, it's a publicly traded company so expect them to always be talking about making our investors happy.
