Pros: Gym onsite in Foster City. Globally recognized brand that looks good on a resume.

Cons: I don't know where to start. My experience is much more in line with the 1 and 2-star reviews. I worked in IT, and the group I was in was so dysfunctional it was painful. I think the CTO has set the tone for the entire organization, and it's not pleasant. They have a deluded vision that they want to be a tech company, so they installed a couple of foosball tables and open workspaces, then have proceeded to replace competent, long-term employees with less experienced (but new and shiny?) new hires. Basically, in the words of Heidi Klum, "one day you're in, and the next day you're OUT!!" HR's reply to one of the other reviews tells you all you need to know about the culture. A reviewer expressed concern about how "diversity" seemed to be decreasing in IT and was condescendingly told, "Sorry to hear that you feel challenged by diversity within your organization." Typical Visa response. If you have a concern, it couldn't possibly be anything other than your own problem. Also, managers will let problems fester until the last possible moment so that they can rush in and save the day. Whole place is crazy. If you are considering an offer here, you can probably do better elsewhere. Billions in profit, and they act like they are poor, won't give raises, cut benefits, etc. As stated by others, depending on what group you are in, it can be quite a sweatshop environment with no work-life balance and constant fire drills and manufactured emergencies.

Pros: Good management, benefits, and good planning.

Cons: No cons as of now.

Pros: Cool culture; it is a great place to work.

Cons: No cons to share. Hard work will get you perks.
