Pros

Great processes, interesting work, and great technology.

Good benefits.

A well-run company with a broad product portfolio.

Overall, a great working experience.

Cons

Senior leadership is entrenched, and the forced ranking system pushes out very good workers. Some of the leadership are promoted to manager and don't understand delegation, tending to micromanage.

Advice to Management

Get rid of the layers of directors.
