Pros

Great campus and some of the best benefits around.

Cons

Upward mobility was extremely political. Teams were also very "cliquey". The campus and culture is shiny and bright upon first glance. However, what once was bright & exciting starts to dim very quickly once you realize how unfair hiring decisions are. It does not matter how hard you work or if you were the best candidate for a role. It is all about who you know.

Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible scheduling

Cons

Over the past several years, the company has lacked a clear long-term strategy, resulting in frequent reorganizations, shifting priorities, and multiple rounds of layoffs. Decision-making often feels reactive rather than strategic, creating uncertainty and making it difficult to execute long-term plans. Internal processes can also be overly complex, slowing down work and reducing efficiency.
