Pros

Pay and benefits are great, including competitive ESPP Subsidized food at on-site cafes Great people (for the most part)

Cons

Very conservative company culture (could be good or bad depending on how you look at it) Process driven and very risk averse—not the company to be in if you want to be innovative Very little diversity Not much upward or lateral movement for growth opportunities

Pros

Some teams have very good people and culture, and it's a joy to work with them. The compensation is good as well.

Cons

Overall, not a good place for engineering. Extremely risk averse and process heavy. People rise in the ranks based on tenure and personal relationships rather than ability and contribution. The company culture does not promote openness, honesty or collaboration.

Strong Company Financially, but Weak Management

Pros

Quite a few perks, good compensation structure. If you are someone who doesn't want to work on the latest and greatest technology or most up to date frameworks and procedures, then you will do well here.

Cons

Extremely weak management. There is no career path or sense of an Individual Development Plan. You do well here if you are in the "click", basically those that attend all of the Happy Hours, if not, then you can rest assured that you are 100% expendable. The company has learned over the last few years that with poor management means you have weak managers who do not know how to develop their staff. To adapt to this self creation problem, the company has moved into multiple times a year restructuring, which allows them to lay off people instead of working through any process. NOTE: if you are here are going to work here, keep you head down and don't get in the crosshairs of any of the favorites. If you don't know who they are then you certainly are not one of them. The management, and about 60% of the employees are stagnant and do not want change at all. They believe "if it isn't broken, then let's not fix it". Instead, they should be asking "what can we do better and be more efficient in".
