Should be great, but they can't get out of their own way

Pros

Mostly very smart people who are passionate about their work. Excellent products you can get behind. And, they are generous with salaries & benefits.

Cons

Leadership is a 2-headed monster, both driving change and resisting it at the same time. I'm not normally a fan of corporate reorgs, but this place needs one. You can't drive change in the kind of decentralized organization they have built, which makes working there a pretty big exercise in banging your head against the wall. Plus, the politics are intense, and it is nearly impossible to get a promotion there. It was fun for a while, then it wasn't - your experience really depends on who's in your management chain.

Great people, fun culture, Hybrid but good work life balance, great benefits, 401 matching, over 4 weeks of PTO, good insurance, and stock options

Cons

Layoffs that come with big tech companies and transitioning through being acquired by Broadcom
