Big company, not too much risk. It is a big company so it has a policy of not taking risks.

Cons

Not a great place to be inspired. It may have good tech but what it does with it may not be that fun.

Pros

The engineering team was great. Smart group of people that genuinely enjoyed collaboration. The front-line manager was very good and seemed to care about his employees.

Cons

Executive management would get excellent results, often in high pressure situations, and continued to demand more to the detriment of everyone's well being. Their approach to garner more productivity out the engineering team was to micromanage, berate, and take away quality of life perks. Most of the team burnt out and slowly disbanded. The benefit of working with such great colleagues was gone.
