Pros

Some of the greatest, hard working innovative, brilliant, dedicated people you will ever know. Interesting work Personal growth - learning cutting edge things I have always liked my job - (until the last few years)

Cons

MANY of the greatest, hard working , innovative, brilliant, dedicated people are GONE. More are leaving every day. The interesting work has been replaced with turmoil Personal growth and cutting edge are things of the past Hope in the company and leadership is lost. The company has "Technology" in its name, but has hardly any IT left, and none that is functioning . Nothing gets done now, because the inexperienced IT replacements in Asia cannot do the work or solve any issues, and the rest of IT is busy shutting down and closing up shop. Morale is REALLY low. People in every area and location I talk to are afraid of the next inevitable layoff - and most are looking for employment elsewhere. Work is piling up and the people are leaving. Probably the area of greatest productivity is the group that updates the org chart and directory, since there are constant deletions.

Pros

Great technology for the era of AI. Stock is doing well.

Cons

High performers have been laid off based on market/biz unit goals. Outsourcing/derisking is a thing lately.

Pros

Fast paced workplace. Lots of data to master SQL and data analysis

Cons

Toxic AF. Everybody seems to lower to 60% effort because the risk of getting tired is immense. If you give 100% and have to take a break and someone sees, the big boss will yell with a grumpy neurotic southern old man voice. Trust me, it is very unpleasant. If you are male, don't get hopes up for a promotion if there are any eligible girls. If it isn't done on purpose, then the general culture of cattiness and gossip will accomplish it anyway.
