Pros

There are some great minds there. They are just outnumbered by the “yes men” and people doing the least.

Cons

It has become a mature company where just doing the least and playing politics is rewarded. If you speak out or dissent you are punished. Leadership seems completely lost on how to course correct. Numerous layoffs in small batches so they can avoid reporting it. The life has been sucked out of the place it’s really sad to see. They also are messing with people on visas which I find morally disturbing.
