Pros

Competitive pay, very good benefits, commitment to personal and social well-being lots of bright, dedicated people working together

Cons

cyclic hiring / firing phases, rigid rank ordering required for evaluations a bit top-heavy in management somewhat silo-ed, departments guard their turf jealously sudden changes in direction, seemingly less from internal findings than following other companies.

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.
