Pros

Corporate values and treatment are fantastic. A couple of great business units to work for if you can identify them. Low engineering skill company. Matching Gifts up to $5,000. HSA contributions of $2,000. Time off. Great benefits package. Financial security and growing company.

Cons

Corporate values don't translate to business unit actions. Talk and action don't match. Racial biases exist in business units. Top talent keeps leaving. Several toxic business units are best to stay away from, like Marketing Cloud. Compensation is way below market, mainly in lower RSUs with initial grants. Only one-third of employees get refreshers for RSUs, and they are cherry-picked, not performance-based. Standards of allocation vary widely between business units. Career advancement depends on who you know or what project you're on, not how you perform or merit. There has been mismanagement in resource allocation and hiring practices in the past two years by executive and senior leadership.

Advice to Management

Apply your corporate values to your business units. Create better standards for allocating RSUs and increase RSUs. Better identify top talent and try to retain them.
