Pros

People are amazing Most of management is great Campus is beautiful

Cons

The little bit of politics is deeply rooted and needs to be purged! Every one knows who ... just do it. ie people leave their manager, not the company. The pay is “at market” at best.

Pros

Work/life balance is ok, but YMMV. Some teams you barely work 40, others you rarely work less than 60. The people here are great, and are consistently the top reason people come and stay here. The work can be exciting depending on your role. I've been fortunate enough to work with multiple customers across multiple industries over my tenure and got to be apart of really unique and interesting applications.

Cons

The salary is terrible. They keep saying they are going to fix it, but even their internal ratios prove just how far you are behind and show how little they are doing about it. Some reactive work that comes your way is not very exciting or meaningful. I suppose this is true of many jobs, but it is just very apparent here. You wear multiple hats, even the ones you don't want to wear, and ones that don't grow your career. Management is very hit or miss. I've had several managers who are project managers, not people managers. Rarely do they ever inspire you to be better or provide guidance on career growth. You shouldn't come here if you expect the company to grow you, you must grow yourself.
