Pros

Flexible work schedule Work from home available up to 2 days per week 9/80 work schedule

Cons

Leadership can be very unorganized at times with many groups taking a "wing it and clean it up later" approach. Salaries vary widely for engineers in different groups among the company with the same qualifications. You really have to make sure you're in a group that upper management deems "important."

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
