Pros

Opportunity for growth if you work yourself to the bone and win the favor of the right executives, brand name recognition on the resume. Truly nice people on an individual level

Cons

- Never in my life have I encountered a worse IT/HR group. Literally falling apart - unable to do the bare minimum of getting a laptop to a new hire, with an account set up - Prepare to be a tool to be used for your bosses bosses bosses bosses' relationship with their bosses boss. No aim to create real business value, just want to have other people 'look good' for some upcoming meeting with an executive - CONSTANT political posturing - Sub par talent. All the smartest people have already left, leaving a 'talent desert' full of battlefield promotions. Inept leaders - No culture whatsoever *(though I truly did like the people I worked with as individuals. Some really nice folks) - Pays way below market rate for tech jobs - Feels like a multi-national corporate bureaucracy - you're a cog in the machine - Bizarre brand-worship - Re-orgs that make no sense - Really just a S****show in every sense, no organizational alignment, strategy

Pros

Free passes to the parks and discount in the stores.

Cons

Management is disorganized, and the workplace culture is consistently challenging. Frequent organizational changes are introduced with little communication or clarity about the path forward, creating uncertainty and frustration. While some teams provide a better experience than others, a toxic environment is prevalent across much of the organization. Rather than investing in employee growth, development, and internal advancement, the culture often feels focused on limiting employees' potential instead of empowering them to succeed.
