Pros

Awesome benefits OUTSIDE of the medical, which is difficult to accept and very expensive - one option only - take it or leave it

Cons

Like any big corporation, lots of internal politics. Very tenured employee base, some of whom seem to benefit from a double standard. Certain managers should be held accountable for their lack of professionalism and inability to work with others in a collaborative manner - but they often are given a pass.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Cons

Cared more about building a program to attract interns than future employees.

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
