Not the best place if you want to grow fast

Business Outlook

Pros

Good co-workers. Lots of energy and enthusiastic young work force. Excellent office buildings and onsite gym.

Cons

Not the best place to advance your career, especially if you are a mid-entry level engineer. Managers act as hurdles to your growth rather than facilitating your growth. Management has become very conservative due to failures in the past. You will not like it here if you like some space and decision making powers to work on things you like. Favoritism amongst top management.

Business Outlook

Pros

1) Stable job 2) Good quality of life because the work is not very difficult

Cons

1) Very low prospects of growth. Expect a promotion in 5+ years, and there are so many layers that if you start as a Software Engineer, you'll become a Senior Engineer in 12+ years (if you're lucky). 2) Salary and compensation is significantly lower than many other companies in the Bay Area. 3) Your manager (middle management) is going to be your biggest hurdle to growth.
