Pros
  • They have very talented people across multiple teams.
  • The work/life balance is good.
  • They have interesting products and projects.
Cons

The upper management is stupid. They remove entire departments, cancel projects with no previous notice, move people to other roles, and they lack essential processes.

In some departments, they don't know how to use the Agile framework, so the project management is a mess.

Many employees complain about management decisions. Just take a look at other reviews on Glassdoor, and you will see it's a common situation.

Advice to Management

Change the upper management, or at least, bring in someone who actually knows what they are doing.
