Pros

- interesting and very intelligent coworkers - interesting projects - Great Oaks campus location is nice - you might get your own private office - decent work/life balance - hybrid (Tues/Fri wfh) - sometimes there's free bagels

Cons

- Way too much politics. Too many massive egos butting heads instead of solving actual problems. Older engineers often steamroll junior engineers, talking over them and even taking credit for their work. - Compensation is abysmal, and as a result, attrition and morale are also bad. I recently discovered I was paid way less than some junior engineers I trained, which was fun. There were no raises this year. Oh and they took away our on-site health clinic. - Too much middle management bloat, which makes getting things done somewhat difficult. - CEO is completely out of touch and makes bad decisions. - Micromanaging and too many pointless meetings.
