Pros

Best-in-class equipment (MacBooks, Samsung monitors, etc.), free beverages, and a gym on campus. Experience with the latest and future technologies.

Cons

Extremely hit or miss management. I worked there for 11 months and had 3 managers.

Being a large organization, they reorganize all the time, which causes roles and territories to get mixed around.

Too much information for entry-level employees to master. (Other companies such as Salesforce or AWS don't start college grads in these roles for a reason).

Advice to Management
  • Be honest about what a "Cloud Engineer" is. Sales Engineering is a great role, but calling it a Cloud (specialization) Engineer role does not sound like sales at all.
  • Don't set the salary the same for all the hubs when the cost of living is much higher in D.C., Boston, and Santa Monica than in Austin.
