Poor middle managers, favoritism and yes-man culture.

Pros

Decent compensation and good benefits, used to be very decent work-life balance but changed dramatically in the wrong direction over last couple of years

Cons

After several rounds of layoffs a lot of good (qualified and knowledgeable) people were either let go or quit which created a complete vacuum and crisis of leadership in many groups. Individuals who took their places are utterly incompetent and consequently extremely insecure and seemingly in constant fear for their own jobs. Middle management is full of incompetent yes-men who are bent on creating appearance of being extremely busy and pressuring their employees to work on meaningless tasks while setting unreasonable expectations and ridiculous deadlines.

Pros

Standard 9-5 Good benefits Lateral opportunities in a large organization International colleagues and projects

Cons

For senior management, improving the operating margin is more important than the wellbeing of the employees. Below Director, non-salary compensation is limited. Promotions can bring greater exposure to job elimination.

Stay away if you're in tech

Pros

People were nice but they always talked about leaving the company

Cons

The tech culture in this company is absolutely horrendous. Stay away if you want to become a bettersoftware engineer. Not conducive to growth, knowledge sharing, or development of good software engineering practices. You pick up some bad dev practices while here. Management does not put tech on an equal pedestal as the business so tech gets jerked around a lot to meet impossible demands.
