Pros

Good benefits (for far less pay), such as sabbatical, free drinks, socializing Casual, laid-back environment Great location Friendly people Fair bonus compensation

Cons

Stay out of IT, they don't know what they're doing. Senior management is not technical and becomes hostile when inefficiencies or problems are pointed out to them. Management pretends to have an open door policy but I did not see this in practice. The new building is evidence that M* favors style over function.

Pros

Great benefits (e.g. 6% of salary 401K matching program, 6-week sabbatical after working 4 years). Good opportunities to switch roles within company. Most employees are great to work with.

Cons

Slightly lower pay relative to other companies. Management might be on a course of changing strategies across orgs too quickly, resulting in too many things breaking and failed outcomes. Removed 3 days a week in-office policy, which may lead to missed talent acquisition opportunities.
