Pros

Nice building to work in. Nice health and fitness center and cafeteria. Co-workers are great.

Cons

In my opinion, focus is on cost cutting to make numbers. Continuous layoffs, outsourcing, downsizing so Wall Street can make a nickel and management gets their bonuses. Watch out if you have grey hair or you could be the next to go. Yeah I know they don't discriminate against older people, yeah, yeah, yeah. HR is completely aligned with management so don't expect anything from them.

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.
