Good place for starting a career

Staff software engineer

Pros

I was a software engineer in R&D this may not apply to other titles. Good work life balance, challenging and varying work and good mentorship that help ground a career.

Cons

Pay starts at average and quickly falls behind competition you should keep looking at the market or this will creep up on you. Promotions to Senior Engineer and beyond are opaque. I have often heard managers say that you get promoted "well after everyone thinks you already have that title".

Good place to learn but not a place to stay

Anonymous employee

Pros

Most of your coworkers are great and become like family. You learn a lot up to a certain point. Fantastic benefits.

Cons

It is nearly impossible to innovate. There is definitely a herd mentality, and anyone who strays is frowned upon. All the transparency that used to make the company great is gone. Every communication sounds like it was crafted by legal and PR. All the exciting opportunities are scooped up by managers who should be managing and not working as individual contributors. The pay? Ridiculous.

Good learning opportunities

Pros

It is a good environment for newbies, competitive salaries for new hires, friendly workplace.

Cons

To much politics, there are persons who are more equals than the others, salary raise don't follow the inflation, so your real compensation may decrease over time.
