Pros

Really nice people, good benefits, great compensation.

Cons

Terrible middle management that does not support anyone they view as "not up to par," but they keep moving the goal post for performance so who knows what par is at this point. Middle management can also be vindictive if you get on their radar or cross them. Definite favoritism/nepotism to tenured employees. Advertised as a remote-friendly organization, but that really depends on what team you join. Politics are rampant especially in R&D orgs. So many employees, so many "supposed" remote initiatives, but I've never been part of a team and felt so siloed, alone, and unsupported.

Pros

The teams you work with are phenomenal. The knowledge combination between an internal customer facing teams, engineering product development teams, and Sales are unmatched.

Cons

Excessive use of PIPs to oust employees after multiple high revenue launches, with no explanation, actual documentation, or factual data. Reviews have been adjusted to allow for terminations post pre-approved leaves. Salaries are a joke. You are always in a cover yourself mode 24/7. Management reviews are consistently a 2 or 3 out of 5 no matter what. If a team decides you aren’t in the group, management will put you on a “unofficial” PIP without telling you, in order to surprise you at a later date. Even if they are unfounded. Beware of possibility of negative backlash post launches. They will feel the need to assign blame ( such as for timelines or issues related to bugs). Regardless of performance or level of involvement. This is an enormous company with many large paths for career advancement. But micro management is rampant, leaving little room for doing the daily expectations of your actual role. This degrades your opportunities for career advancement.
