Pros
  • Compensation and benefits are still top tier.
  • It hires brilliant, smart, and sometimes caring people.
  • Work/life balance can be good, although very team/org dependent.
Cons
  • Constant layoffs, restructuring, and offshoring.
  • Collaboration and wanting to build the best products for customers just aren't what they used to be at this company.
