Pros

Incredibly diverse cutting-edge technology, many highly skilled managers and engineers. Part of a highly competitve industry. Many opportunities for acquiring new knowledge. Variety of career paths.

Cons

Unforgiving work environment at times due to extreme pace of development - mistakes are not forgotten. Long hours. Several key directors and VPs are highly insular, usually standing in the way of meeting customer goals in areas of design, reliability and corrective action. Corporate level is often unaware of the bad rep their products have in customer installations and how poorly the new designs meet customer needs. It is therefore extremely difficult to change the tarnished image in the markeplace, where perception is everything.

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.
