Pros

Most of the individual contributors are wonderful people. The free food is a great benefit. The healthcare insurance is pretty good.

Cons

VP, Directors and managers are toxic and ready to toss anyone under the bus for their own glory/gain. Managers and directors will do anything and say anything to the detriment of their own team to save face. Leaving was the best decision of my life. Groupthink is part of the culture and anybody who is dissenting will be shut down/ minimized. The company has a serious culture problem and they are ready to blame anybody but the top as the issue. Be warned, this place is not healthy for your sanity.
