Pros

Depending on your manager, you could have amazing work/lie balance or be worked to death. I have had good ones that looked out for me, gave me opportunities, and made sure I was rewarded well. The pay is good as are the stock grants.

Cons

Not all the managers are good. There are a lot of people who are going nowhere or are coasting along (even after the recent layoffs). Promotions and raises are not done well or fairly. There are a number of sexist members in senior leadership. For all the Women's Initiatives, there is little the company does to actually promote women.

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
