Pros

* Interesting job with challenges * Flexible hours * Well known name for CV * Good culture with smart colleagues (engineering level only) * Great package * Great office (even though rather empty post-covid)

Cons

* Flexible hours (easy to work overtime on evenings or weekend if you don't put your limits) * Execs are useless and don't really know the product * Entire divisions can be scrapped at any time * Slow reaction to market with too much inertia * Periodic reorg with big layoff (multiple per year)

Pros

9/80 work Hybrid Benefits Profit Sharing

Cons

RSU options shrank over the past few years while the Execs took more. Suffers from shiny syndrome distractions and often cant stay the course. It has all or nothing focus and if your business unit isn't the core focus zero support. Has to many long time managers that chide berede & belittle direct reports. Zero empowerment.
