Pros

Great pay, benefits, and culture. Good discounts and generally cool to be a part of such an iconic brand. Especially cool to be based at their global headquarters given the campus perks and events.

Cons

If you ACTUALLY want to get work done, have some wins/accomplishments under your belt, this is not the place for you. They pride themselves on making decisions by committee, which makes every decision an asinine process. You will spend MONTHS, literally 6+ months "socializing" an idea or body of work, and then have something come in and just render it a moot point. You just wasted 6 months doing literally nothing that matters. But, hey, you got paid well. They are trying to brand themselves internally as a technology company, yet they don't even have the MOST BASIC technology capabilities. It's truly a joke. And people push back on technological progress. The leadership they have on the tech side don't seem to know what the hell they're doing or they're just heavily influenced away from doing the smart thing. Several people doing the same job. So much overlap. Not uncommon to join a meeting and find that someone else on the call has your exact same job and now you two have to battle it out to figure out who's going to take this one on or what part of it you'll work on. They could probably let go of 60% of the people that work here and you'd still never notice.

Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

High school environment of poorly trained software "engineers" who frequently lie to each other to cover up their lack of knowledge or steal other peoples ideas and take credit for them. The teams that havent been outsourced are also extremely egotistical just because management hasnt figured out how to get rid of them yet. Tons of people working in IT but work is incredibly slow due to excessively long meetings and phony scrum processes rather than actually doing work. The basic fundamentals of shipping software are not really present. Because there is really no other significant software employer in Portland, expect the abuse that goes on with that. Since they think if you quit you will starve.

Don't Do It

Pros

Can sometimes find success, despite itself. Big budgets, resources and opportunity to align with big cultural touch points hide a lot of warts.

Cons

Toxic environment where employee satisfaction is at an all time low. Political. Petty. Bureaucratic. 70-80 hour work weeks. Low Compensation. Frat Boy Mentality. Lost the magic that used to be there in earlier years. A deck culture where making your boss look good is the only thing that matters. Echo chamber culture like to hear itself talk. Spend more on internal presentations and internal selling than most companies spend in their entire annual consumer facing budget.
