Pros

Salary (if you negotiate well) Benefits like Health Insurance, Life Insurance

Cons

- AI teams work culture is hectic and sporadic. Many people left recently and some leaving due to poor middle management. - Arbitratory deadlines are set by middle management and everyone is expected to just deliver. Leading to burn outs. - Teams are geographically located in US west coast, France, India and Armenia and therefore planning is hard and people will ping you later in the night. - Work life balance: You are expected to put in more than 40 hours per week. They are very strict about it. - Communication skills are quite different. People talk over each, interrupt each other and will not waste a moment to point out your mistakes. Quite rude sometimes.

Pros

Smart co-workers. Average pay and benefits.

Cons

Work culture did not promote or incentivize collaboration between groups working on similar ideas, even when it would be beneficial. Managers not held accountable when they made poor decisions. Not diverse. Disorganized, poor onboarding and training and few opportunities for career growth.

Pros

A fantastic innovative company in the areas of their original core competency.

Cons

Abysmal management of the acquired Black Duck product group. In 20 years as an accomplished manager and individual contributor at successful top-tier and startup companies, this is the most chaotic and unfriendly group I have ever experienced. Sink or swim onboarding, a very aggressive release cadence, buggy complex home-grown tools, very weak documentation quality assurance workflow processes, lack of management strategy and focus are all a significant drag on productivity and quality.
