Pros

Decent pay, some good coworkers.

Cons

Unethical management; hostile, abusive and inappropriate behavior as the culture has allowed it for far too long. Visually and ideologically you have stepped into the 1950's. Even worse than the usual Old Boys Club behaviors are as follows: 1. The way you are easily discarded (by way of being smeared, then bullied and targeted) once it's ascertained you won't be of any "use" to certain higher-ups/VPs. 2. The WOMEN there who support the Old Boys Club (They should hang their heads in shame.). It was scary to have to work among some men who clearly suffer from arrested emotional development. I was starting to feel like I was the subject of a running bet between a group of men. Forget about HR. They will not only support unethical behavior from management, they will help execute it. Scratch the surface and get to the truth: newer employees basically have no rights within the iron gate.

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
