Pros

Great benefits Good pay Flexible office locations (close to east, south and west valley locations) Many good/competent employees left from the "pre-sellout era"

Cons

-Bob Parson's is no longer involved in decisions -Taking on investors KKR/Silverlake was the beginning of the end (what i call the "sellout era") -New silicone valley execs/management have total control over all technical decisions (even lower level decisions) -New silicone valley execs/management treat the existing employees like we have no idea what we are doing -We use to be empowered to make bold decisions, now we just follow orders (we use to drive but now we ride in the trunk)

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of money and perks to go around , Mr. Parsons does like to give things away.

Cons

There are definitely insiders and outsiders. Not sure that the money and perks make up for the total lack of morals of the company leadership. it is too bad they are dragging down people like Danica in the process.

Cool place to work. Great Vacation. Challenging but overall working experience depends on your manager.

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay for Engineers. Great benefits. Unbeatable Vacation time at 4 weeks after your first year and 6 weeks after 5 years, especially for Phoenix Metro area! Flexible work schedule, possibility to work from home permanently for "privileged" people. Most engineers can work from time-to-time from home. Overall an "above average" to "very good" place to work.

Cons

Stressful often and "Very stressful" for some months of the year. Many people "tire out" quickly depending on which group they are in. Your work life depends on your manager's management style. Could be too challenging for some people, for most people you don't move around you could start in the wrong group and end up miserable. If you end up in a cool spot you should stay there but will sacrifice learning new stuff and possibly your career goals.
