Pros

Better than average benefits, including an unheard of defined benefit plan. Decent work life balance as busy season is offset by some slower periods. Good collaboration between departments. Generally a caring environment. If there is a layoff, employees are treated with respect. Beautiful offices. Ability to work without being micro-managed.

Cons

A few too many layoffs over the years. Some long-term staff are unfriendly or unapproachable. Some favoritism comes into play when exploring other opportunities.

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
