A great place to work, but it feels like an empire in decline at times
A great place to work, but it feels like an empire in decline at times
Good work-life balance, great benefits, multiple tracks to get promoted.
Compensation is average compared to other technology firms, and there are too many re-organizations. Lots of employees are simply not interested in doing the best they could. At times, it feels disheartening as people who work half as much get promoted faster. Different groups have different standards for defining value, and it is not consistent company-wide.
Need more profit sharing.
