Pros
Work is very stable here even during the COVID-19 pandemic. The name recognition of the company carries good weight.
Cons
-Absolute neglect of proper health and safety conditions at the facility in Sunnyvale. Employees who can do their work in a sufficient manner working remotely were required to come into work 5 days a week on my direct team. Most of our work is done using computers sitting in cubicles, yet there was zero flexibility despite senior leadership saying so. If remote-capable workers are required to come in 5 days a week during the worst part of the pandemic (3% ICU Capacity), why is it that management seems to be absent from the campus? -The Sunnyvale campus promised to have a running dashboard of people in isolation and positive cases but no sign of updates after the initial powerpoint 2 months prior. -Management is severely out of touch with the actual employees doing the work. Excessive back-and-forth just to relay the status of work or to confirm a problem. The actual people with technical knowledge are treated extremely poorly. Management hires based on nepotism and do not have a good technical breadth of the work they are conducting. -Pay is 10-15% below average for competitive roles in the Bay Area
