Pros

- Great job for just out of school. - Excellent engineers. You can learn a lot from them. - Mission is very appealing, though the organization's alignment to it is weak at times. - Fantastic benefits, compensation, and work-life balance.

Cons

- Lots of politics. - Organizations are not very cohesive and don't work together well. I can't even count how many times I heard "that's not in my quarterly goals" or "we don't have resources for that" after making reasonable requests. - Management structure is strange and hard to understand. As someone who wanted to work his way up, I couldn't figure out how.

Pros

Great health insurance benefits. Literally you pay nothing per pay check. Also parental leave is 6 months which is rare in the US. Wellness days were nice too.

Cons

Lack of black people in and promoted to senior / management positions even though there are many qualified people to be there. Also management cannot make decisions. They are leaps and bounds behind the competition and many lack competence.
