Mid-career need not apply
Good salary and perks. Nice offices. Work with challenging and important technology. Work with very smart people.
The company is very paternalistic. I haven't felt that ordered around since high school. The harsh review cycle encourages bad behavior by employees. Internal politics are quite brutal. People helping each other without some ulterior motive is rare. Not recommended if you are a mid- to late-career person. The above noted pro - lots of smart people - leads to a lot of arrogance and hubris. People are always very serious.
You guys need to lighten up. The review system needs to be changed to allow employees to focus on the products and customers instead of playing Machiavellian games to get promoted.
