Good first job or place to park
You can coast if you're talented and don't have to work too hard. The way the review system works, the difference between being adequate and excellent makes a real difference as an engineer, especially if you are between promotion cycles.
Decent benefits.
The cross-calibration review system is horrendous. It's an old-style IBM graded curve with so many slated for PIPs.
For a "technology" company, it doesn't offer stock compensation/RSUs like one.
Diversity and Inclusion has become pathological.
There's constant corporate knife-fighting at the higher levels, probably due to the cross-calibration review structure.
Don't treat tech like your tellers or sales people.
