Pros

The only pro is that my immediate manager has always been wonderful. The same great co-workers are there keeping things going.

Cons

Just when you think they couldn't possibly reduce anything more or get any cheaper, they do. Very low pay raises if any at all, NO bonuses, hiring freezes, recent layoffs again, very poor medical plan and benefits. But it's even the little things that are a big slap in the face: They are restricting how many cubes can have a visitor chair and replacing them with plastic unpadded stackable chairs like lawn chairs. They decided to no longer supply the ladies room with feminine hygiene products in the vending machines. We are supposed to go to the cafeteria and buy them, which isn't even open all day. I am expected to use my own internet and cell phone for oncall but I am not paid anything for oncall and now the very small expense reimbursement was also taken away. I am told my very poor raise (if any) is because that's how the market is. Yet when the media asks why the CEO and CFO got an exorbitant compensation package, the official answer was because the company did so extremely well that it was deserved.

Pros

Nine years of complex engineering challenges and professional growth. Strong camaraderie with talented colleagues across various engineering teams. Opportunities to work on high-impact projects and scalable infrastructure. Gained significant experience in complex system architecture and troubleshooting.

Cons

Abrupt end to a nine-year tenure without adequate transition or transparency. Heavy reliance on an aging, legacy tech stack that hinders innovation. Contradictory AI strategy: leadership mandates aggressive adoption while refusing to fund the necessary compute and tools for teams to actually implement it. Extreme short-term focus on EPS maximization at the direct expense of long-term stability and product health.
