Pros

The stock benefits and bonuses were substantial. There were many of the groups that worked very well together and had great team members.

Cons

They were very aggressive regarding layoffs. Especially over the last 10 years they had numerous layoffs. Executive management struggled to embrace new ideas and markets choosing to only focus on the core business, even as it dwindled. They had no allegiance to long-term employees. Always thinking they could get the work done with younger, lower paid engineers.

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.
