Pros

- the PEOPLE, you do get the chance to work with/meet amazing and talented people from all over the world - Very nice, gorgeous, modern, world class campus with a lot of amenties (but mostly worth it for the feel that you work at a 'fancy' corporate company) - if you're lucky - nice 1st level supervisors - your mileage may vary

Cons

- salary for software engineer positions is more aligned with IT jobs (i.e. analyst) vs. actual engineering/tech jobs, too low for industry - due to low SWE staffing levels or bad management choices, many SWEs are asked/voluntold to do the workload of multiple positions/people with no pay raise - company's COVID response was pretty lacking and kept trying to bring employees back to office at unsafe times - little to no career advancement opportunities (i.e. promotions) unless you're willing to sacrifice your work life balance and work all the time - plenty of toxic behaviors and personalities encouraged by the archaic,stress inducing and morale breaking ranking system - management places an unbalanced weight on what the company needs vs. your career goals/needs when placing you as a new hire and even for subsequent assignments if you're not on top of your manager - if you get unlucky and get placed in a team that was not one of your top choices and/or where you can't perform 100% due to lacking the necessary abilities, management stubbornly won't move you no matter how many times you request it via the appropriate channels - if you ask for a promotion/raise, even if you deserve it and your manager agrees, nothing can be done in the short term and you have to wait for performance evaluation season
