Pros: - Most of the people I work with regularly are very good, both technically and as people. - Very competitive salary and benefits. - Generally good hybrid in-office culture. Special days for things like free breakfast, or various events and celebrations.

Cons: - Stack ranking with forced distributions creates unnecessary competition, and not in a good way. It also depresses associate morale on a larger scale. - Many practices are more performative than substantive, in service of the "influence" competency. - For a company that claims to be a tech company, they are very stingy on the stock awards compared to other large tech companies. - Giving managers and Sr. managers more responsibility without the support or resources to implement. - Constant reorgs and rebrandings, often during the same year, so you have no idea which organization you're working for.

Pros: - Benefits are excellent. - Pay is some of the best. - Very modern tech stack. - High caliber of talent. - Terrific work-life balance.

Cons: - Being a pay-for-performance company where everyone is bonus eligible sounds nice, but there are fixed distribution percentages that are directly tied to your bonus. Those that ever actually get the full amount are extremely few. In 5 years, I've had 7 managers, and 0 worked with me to set goals that tie back to performance. - Performance management twice per year is terrible (managing a significant percentage out of the company annually). Biased senior leaders inappropriately influence for their teams. They tell you it's not about distributions and you have to own the ratings, but you get backlash if you disagree with leadership. - Lots of expectation to do more beyond your job (volunteer, mentor, blog) just to get a satisfactory PM rating. - Massive reorganizations in some areas (7x in 5 years). - Career growth really depends on the people leader you get, which changes frequently.

Pros: Advanced technology. Good people. Good benefits.

Cons: Performance management is stressful and emotionally and mentally draining.
