Pros

variety of work, complexity of work, complexity of products, benefits

Cons

some very senior people are disgustingly selfish and bias - win at all costs, tell execs what they want to hear (all about the show), technology sucks, very clique driven, right now there are no resources - over 2000 people are voluntarily leaving and there seems to be NO plan on how to cover the work - tech isn't there - pay was not there this year - indeed the people who are leaving are making more than the people whop stayed. as a manager of people who left - it's disheartening to see their paychecks bigger than my own. this voluntary separation program was incredible poorly managed in the top middle - people who are still here are suffering and now we have all of the new HR BS changes to deal with. WAKE UP - we have work to do and we need the resources to do it. We are BURNT OUT. Stop changing everything - give us a REST.

Pros

Solid benefits package, manageable workload. Can be a comfortable landing spot if you're able to tune out the outdated processes and legacy mindset.

Cons

The company undergoes frequent restructuring, and technical leadership often lacks the depth needed to guide modern engineering decisions. The culture can feel rooted in an older, more traditional mindset, and promising initiatives frequently get stuck in POC hell rather than reaching production. Career progression is also very manager-dependent; the wrong reporting relationship can significantly stall your growth. Overall technical bar is low — if you're trying to sharpen your skills, this environment may hold you back rather than push you forward.
