Pros

Lots of hype and stuff around sports and stuff.

Cons

Will sometimes randomly lay off hundreds of staff without warning, PIPS, etc. Uses terms like "manage people out" and as what id call a cut throat culture. The leaders are not nice or competent. They are mostly DEI hires meant to act as a shiny corporate crown upon a visibly rotten tooth.

Pros

Colleagues who are both smart and genuinely nice A fun office environment, sports-related events A fair amount of non-financial perks Approachable leadership compared to many other large companies Top tier benefit offerings Great employee resource groups

Cons

Constant restructuring of teams, especially in Tech RIFs began happening more regularly almost every year A lot of senior leadership roles are disconnected from processes and work that is happening Business growth is largely outside of the control of employees - there's lot of market and industry based factors to consider D&I is only a priority if it's required to be or if the incentives are right Career growth opportunities are much more competitive and limited at mid/senior levels
