Pros

um, it’s hard to say these days.

Cons

EOY Performance management is so bizzare and suspicious. Submitting your review to ED’s before submitting to your manager to make sure it’s “properly compliant” is a great failure of leadership and a lack of managerial courage to actively deal with low performers during the year. This punishes the majority of the company.

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.
