Pros
  • Excellent HR
  • Good pay and benefits
  • Excellent work experience
  • Very professional work environment
Cons
  • Poor work-life balance.
  • Constant state of emergency. Everyone is always under pressure to deliver the next big thing before the end of the quarter.
  • Large software engineering teams. Important decisions are made by a small group, and everyone else's voices struggle to be heard.
  • Product, design, and engineering teams are located in different cities and report to separate management chains. This leads to slow communication and political in-fighting between teams.
  • Management is often critical and unsupportive of employees.
Advice to Management
