Pros

It's nice to use Google tools and leave Microsoft stuff behind. I haven't touched my Windows laptop in weeks.

Cons

Health insurance options for 2018 are the worst I've had in 30 years in this industry. The HSA is a joke when your family deductible is $6,000 and you need regular prescriptions. My raise will be completely eaten up by out-of-pocket medical expenses.

Other benefits are okay, but nothing really stands out. Hoping bonus and stock potential beats out the poor health insurance.

Very unhappy to see folks with Broadcom offer letters get laid off anyway, the day before the acquisition closed. Management's word clearly means nothing.

Advice to Management

Your employee benefits are not 'the best in the industry'.
