Pros

I love this company, they have great benefits and wonderful resources. They’re trending upwards supporting diversity and LGBTQA+ employees.

Cons

- Job descriptions so vague that, I’ve ended up with so many different job functions it’s hard to keep up. - Career advancement is heavily based on favoritism. You can network all you want, but unless you have an “in”, you’re probably not going anywhere. - Knowledge is heavily siloed and communication between teams is tough.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

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
