Pros

The HR environment is fairly friendly for a big company. For IT work at home is common allowing you to easily manage things like contractors at home.

Cons

The lines of authority and spans of control are very confusing. Frequent, partially thought out, re-orgs have made it difficult to make progress. Promotion and growth opportunities for mid-career professionals seem to be limited as management favors outsiders.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
