Pros

As with any big company, your day to day work-life balance largely predicates upon having an understanding manager that values life outside of the company; I have been lucky enough during my tenure to have found that.

Cons

- Like any large tech company, things move very slowly - RTO / badging policies are archaic - Company did not handle layoffs well at all this year

Great ambient and flex time, you can choise your own shifts.

Choise your shifts is like a race with the others workers.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
