Pros

- Can coast relatively easily - Work is predictable, at least

Cons

- Amazon wannabe bell-curve performance management - Lots of re-orgs and churn - No creativity or ownership of work - Have to really sell yourself to be noticed at all - cannot shine through your work - Constantly raising the standard, even if you are above the bar, it is not enough

Pros

Great benefits. 401k, 5 weeks vacation, amazing work life balance

Cons

You work.so hard and there is never enough. 15 % cut off every 6 months during performance management. Extremely hard to move up. Its only possible if u have a good connections. Morale is very low. You never know when you will be layed off. To keep the job you have to work500% effectively. Very toxic place.
