Pros

Nice offices. Everyone gets an office. Great food in the cafeteria. Some good people.

Cons

Work is challenging, mostly because of how process-heavy everything is. Nothing is simple. You have an idea you want to pursue? Follow up with 10-12 meetings with committee after committee. You do something new? you may get your hand slapped. Everything feels set in stone. Pay is mediocre at best. 66% percentile is the goal. Stingy is the rule: Everyone gets a Lenovo Thinkpad. Want a Mac? buy one out of your own pocket. Lots of people punching a clock and doing 9-5, waiting for retirement. Despite products that have potential, marketing is stuck is aging leadership. Leadership overall is a cadre of 20+ year lifers who block any upward mobility. The job you get can likely be the job you keep for years. No room for growth.

Overall, the organization takes a very staff-focused approach, prioritizing employee well-being and fostering an environment where people feel supported and valued.

Cons

With a globally distributed workforce, it can sometimes be challenging to coordinate schedules or connect in person with colleagues.
