Pros

Benefits are good especially for experienced. They can get kids college fees paid (some portion), This is also one of the reason you see people working for longer period.

Cons

- Extreme favoritism toward certain group and bootlickers. - Management Takes Credit for Everything, Engineers are not appreciated, Even during COVID-19, there are many promotions at Manager and above levels in this year, but none of the engineers are promoted. I Pity the management. Management talks about SAT and fairness among students and college admissions but they do not properly take care of employees at low levels. -No organic growth for IT people. Many of the systems are already migrated to AWS cloud by good talented engineers. - Management cannot retain people due to lack of direction and providing challenging work. Last 3 years, the IT teams are re-organized for 3 times. -I agree, there are egoistic bad managers as a result of those bad promotions. People in manager positions do not have etiquette and they behave more like self- serving leaders not Servant leaders.

Pros

Great coworkers to be around, great benefits, work-life balance was perfect before the middle management layoffs. Collaborating with teams is constant and helpful for the design process.

Cons

They cut the research team, relying on designs to take on that plus end-to-end products, which leaves to heavy work loads and late nights. Deadlines are rather quicker than usual since the reorg.
