Pros

Financial stability. Some talented and nice people around.

Cons

It's disheartening to see our design & research team being reduced to serving as glorified pixel-pushers. Until a couple years ago it used to be growing, in quality. At the same time, it's concerning to see several members of the team migrating to the Product organization for what seems to be more of a social rather than solid professional reason. The Austrian exclusive circle. We have an ok design director, who has however been isolated. We previously had another good one, who started to build a promising multidisciplinary function: he was most likely made run away from DT due to mismanagement and political maneuvering (favoring those who best accommodated and flattered our management team, for their own personal career benefit). As a ux and product designer I don't feel well represented or properly valued here. I don't see positive movement under our current leadership, and don't feel safe sharing my perspective through our internal channels.

Pros

Decent Product Great Perks Co-Workers

Cons

A lot of what happens to your career is beyond your control. You can be a top performer and still only meet satisfied in remarks. The customer success departments went through some changes earlier this year and it left it splintered. A lot of toxic environments take place in pockets and everyone is cliqued up. I suppose you could say this is like every corporation, but this was junior varsity level office politics. If you made someone upset you could be next. Most of the executive leadership and brings in their buddies who have no idea how the product works and all of the veterans have left by now. It's mostly a game of grab behind and brown nosing.
