The initial offer and benefits are competitive. It's a big company, so it's not unstable like a startup. A lot of people here are so smart, it's unbelievable.

You won't ever get a meaningful raise, and may get laid off. The company is getting very top-heavy and leadership has ivory tower disease. They act like they care and schedule lots of feedback meetings, but it's just for show. All big decisions are based on dumb, indirect inputs like surveys and data, or they just secretly decide what to do without talking to anyone and lying about it. There is plenty of staff but no leadership, so managers protect the ones who don't work but somehow never get laid off. Avoid working here if you are a responsible person, because you will be doing the work of three people and watch your boss do nothing about the ones that aren't working. And then you get laid off, not the ones doing nothing.

Advice? The time to listen was years ago. They don't care what the cattle think. You can see they're now astroturfing Glassdoor instead of changing the toxic culture. That and the layoffs say all you need to know about how they take advice from employees.
