Pros

Great company if you're looking for a stable place to work for the next 10~20 years. Unless your position was never needed in the beginning, or you do a lousy job, most likely you will not be removed during difficult time. Office politics is about average compared to other company.

Cons

1) managers are more concerned about how others view them then coaching/mentoring you 2) many managers/directors are only good task-doers, and very much lack leadership skills 3)micro-managing style is common 4) you can forget about flextime and telecommuting- people like to see you at your desk looking like you're busy (even if u're just surfing the web)

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.
