Pros

Brand reputation with well known products Some smart loyal long-timers who want to contribute to education

Cons

Dream job as an educator growing up and sad to see how it works now. Glassdoor rating ranking explains it all. Senior leadership - Wrong people on top who do not care for employee voice. Last three years motivation has gone down and no actions taken. Restructuring left good people leave and now many *inept* VP's and SVP's run show. Never seen any company with so many VP's and SVP's with NO work just roaming around with no accountability. Human Resource is big joke in company. Not there to help employees. Employee motivation is low and still no major changes Lot of loyal people who work hard but no promotion or credit for work. Some just gain praise being friends of VP's or SVP's. New roles get hired for friends from outside company. Low morale resulting in low productivity.

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.
