Pros

Strong global brand name that adds credibility to your profile. Free Snacks

Cons

1. Too much time spent on alignment rather than building. 2 Office politics exists at multiple levels, which affects transparency and decision-making. 3. Work is driven more by showcasing progress than by building truly valuable or innovative products.

Pros

Work-life balance has been historically good.

Cons

Significant organizational restructuring, including layoffs and offshoring, has impacted morale and job security over the last few years. High attrition as many roles are seemingly being replaced by offshore teams. Total compensation has become less competitive, as RSU grants were not renewed so everyone got a pay cut.
