Pros

Great history of innovation and cool products. Lots of interesting technology to work with and work on.

Cons

Upper management is disconnected from employees on purpose. They are in the process of moving all engineering overseas. Employees are a cost to be reduced, not an asset that should be valued.

Pros

• Some coworkers try to support each other despite the environment • You quickly learn how to handle stress (whether you want to or not)

Cons

• Toxic and reactive management style • Constantly shifting expectations with little to no clear direction • Unrealistic workload with pressure to meet metrics that don’t reflect reality • Lack of accountability from leadership—issues are pushed down instead of addressed • Poor communication across the board, leading to confusion and wasted time • Employees are not supported • Burnout is common and ignored
