Pros

Getting to work on leading edge technology and they don't nickle and dime you on the tools you need to do your job. Management in the building is generally sensible.

Cons

Pay is below market, and no raises while they continue to increase dividends and share buybacks. Near quarterly layoffs for the last 2 years create a lot of fear and turmoil. Many engineering groups are understaffed and struggle to make goals. Since they continue to "find efficiencies" career growth opportunity is essentially 0. Health insurance is not particularly great with now mandatory high deductible health plan.

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.
