Pros
  • Probably the "least evil" of the big software companies.
  • Very big on sustainability, environmentalism, and social consciousness.
  • Fantastic bike commuter program.
  • Great layoff package.
Cons
  • Lots of night-time meetings with the India Development Center, including frequent meetings on Sunday nights and other non-work hours.
  • Management cares much more about politics than technical details.
  • Lip service is paid to quality, but there is very little action.
  • Almost all growth seems to be targeted for India, which means the Silicon Valley office is stagnant.
  • They laid off all of the San Ramon office just to save on building costs, implying that bean counters are in charge.
Advice to Management

Don't just pay lip service to quality!
