Pros

There are opportunities to work on teams and projects that are doing cool and interesting things. The company also has good name recognition and has a real impact in the world.

Cons

1.) Pay is definitely on the lower end compared to what you can get elsewhere. 2.) Lots of legacy systems that aren't well maintained. 3.) The tech union takes up way too much air. It's largely filled with oversensitive people with petty grievances. As tech employees we're treated with kid gloves compared to the rest of the company, but the union would have you believing we're oppressed.

Pros

Great people, the smartest I have ever had the privilege of working beside. Fantastic products, fun environment for many (not all).

Cons

Strong desire to centralize power, now that there is a tech union. There is tremendous fear and confusion among middle- managers during this transition to tighter command and control, and seemingly endless consternation between management and the union bargaining committee.
