Pros

The team at Sunnyvale used to be good, but most good people have been pushed out because of highly toxic, political and discriminatory environment.

Cons

* Do not join the AI research team at Sunnyvale, it is highly discriminatory, 90% of the team is from a certain country in Asia, most conversations are NOT in English, leadership is also from the same country and they like to treat people preferentially. Diversity is non existent, no transparency, high level of micro management. * Harassment is a regular occurrence, known bully's roam freely and continue to harass associates all under the protection of upper management. * New grads, please stay away from this place, don't waste your talent in this toxic mess.

Pros

-Meaningful products that genuinely impact customers and society. -Exposure to large-scale, multinational complexity and cross-functional collaboration. -Many teams and leaders genuinely care and want to do the right thing. -Flexibility and autonomy can exist depending on leadership and business unit. -Opportunity to drive meaningful change if leadership alignment exists.

Cons

-Significant organizational complexity and matrixed decision-making slows progress and creates ambiguity in accountability. -Teams are expected to deliver transformational outcomes without sufficient infrastructure, resources, or organizational alignment to support success. -Decision-making is reactive versus strategic, making long-term planning difficult. -Inconsistency in leadership quality and management approach across functions can create vastly different employee experiences. -Collaboration across global regions can be challenging due to competing priorities, differing expectations, and unclear ownership. -There is a disconnect between stated people-first values and day-to-day employee experience. -High-performing employees experience a high degree of burnout because of unclear boundaries and role clarity and prioritization is not actively managed.
