Pros
Pay is good. Work from home is nice on snow days or kid sick days This place used to be great. I made some really good friends with smart people
Cons
Endless rounds of layoffs. Political people kept while good engineers laid off. Layoffs in October cut some great people and we were told this is now a layoff company like Cisco, get used to round after round of layoffs. If you like night and weekend work stay here. It used to be that there would be “overtime” on big deadlines but it would go back to “normal” after the deadline passed. Now, arbitrary deadlines are everyday and there is no decompress time. The job has gotten more high pressure and there is no work life balance. I used to think this was a manager-based issue, but now it is company wide Security business is bringing down the ship.
