Pros

There are a lot of great people. The recent changes under the new CEO are great and are moving the company in the right direction.

Work-life balance is great, although it depends on the team you're in. If you're lucky, and I am, you'll have the freedom to work on the stuff you choose to.

Cons

Things change quite often, so you don't really know what you'll be working on in a year.

Helping others is not really valued much. The accomplishments would be credited to who has been assigned to accomplish it, and even if you have done 90% of that work as part of helping them, you most probably won't get any credits for that.

Advice to Management

The productivity should be much more if people were assigned to work they would enjoy.
