Pros

Great place to learn, with lots of exciting feature work on new products. Good pay out of college. Lots of transferable skills.

Cons

January layoffs. Culture is very team dependent.

Advice to Management

I would myself not like to return until there is more job security.

There always have been stories of forced URA, and working while feeling you have a target on your back is not good for teamwork and productivity.

However, my team seemed at least before layoffs as immune to this, and was already quite lean.
