Pros

Global company with many different opportunities to work on very large scale development projects with bright developers around the world.

Cons

Each site and team is different, but people seem to be treated as faceless resources with very little humanity. Officially hired on for 40-hour work weeks and then told that "this is not a 40-hour a week job", with at least 45+ hours/week expected.

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.
