Pros

Pros: 1.Work life balance is good when working on well-established project.In newer projects, everything is from scratch, so learning and work both will be there. 2. Managers and team are supportive. 3.Flexibility in terms of working from home and office

Cons

1. If the underlying product (and your project )is old,its possible that the tech stack is also very old and not latest/cutting edge/as per market needs. So,it all depends in which product(and its. project) you are associated to. 2.Salary structure for employees is very poor.Software Engineers salary should always include stocks,performance bonus atleast. 3. Hike is not given every year.If given,its also very less

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
