Pros

A lot of wonderful people work here. They started adding snacks to all the newly configured blogs with collaborative workspaces.

Cons

Upper management only rewards their friends and don't really care about the people. The new collaborative workspaces are absolutely horrible!!!

Pros

Excellent benefits and stock options and bonus. If you work hard you are taken care of.

Upper management poorly communicates information. Layoffs occur every August for last three years, it is a killer morale.

Pros

- Good RSUs, comparable salary - Great diversity - Foresight on market transitions and hype/buzz building around it

Cons

- Too many layoffs - ELT disconnected from what is really happening (disconnect between execution & slides) - Sr. Directors, Directors & VPs hired from outside (just because promotions are too political but getting a req is only a finance game)
