Pros

- Most of the employees are very bright - Great technology - Wonderful campuses - Among the best benefits I've ever had

Cons

- Very controlling organization makes it hard for ideas to grow and for individuals feel like they are able to make a difference - Despite great emphasis on processes, many things are still very confusing. Processes and guidelines are not consistently followed up the org chart

Cons

Development pace can feel slow and process-heavy May not be ideal if you’re optimizing for fast career growth, cutting-edge tech, or top-tier compensation.
