Pros

MM still supports multi-directional career development. It's an organization that allows employees to explore new disciplines and areas of the business.

Cons

Despite regular and frequent re-orgs, the company continues to suffer from an antiquated structure, operational model and overwhelming resistance to change. After spending years and countless resources on implementing a lean management system, virtually nothing has changed and it's back to business as usual with all the same old problems unsolved. In the end the effort was a massive disruption that didn't deliver. Very unfortunate for those who were open-minded and willing to try a new way of operating.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
