Pros

(+) Good salary. (+) Good benefits. (+) Nice facilities - nice building, nice offices (but sound easily passes in & out), gym & fitness classes, cafeteria, game room, walking path, covered parking lot.

Cons

(-) It used to be a friendly company that cared about its customers & employees, but then became all about the bottom line regardless of the impact to employees' outside lives & health and the quality of the product. (-) Very tight deadlines with lots of changes added to each release & new releases packed very close together so no time to catch your breath or make improvements. (-) Features & bug fixes driven by marketing, not engineering. (-) Marketing tended not listen to engineering in regards to whether the proposals were a good idea or not. (-) Marketing tended to make changes seemingly just to be able to say they made changes despite the changes adding no value to the customer. (-) Senior leaders did not seem to have a good understanding of technology, software, the software development cycle, or how to inspire & keep good talent. (-) Leadership seemed only interested in shareholders which generally works in the short term but not long term.

Pros

Used to be a good company. Good people from that era that haven’t left yet or been laid off. Free coffee from baristas featuring local roasteries

Cons

Quite possibly one of the worse run companies. Last minute changes to appease the CEO, interlocks on interlocks with no one knowing who is leading and expecting finance to know everything, overly reliant on finance to make up for other teams’ lack, recent leadership and manager hires have been subpar and asking far too much of their employees. Everyone is burnt out. No more smiles. If the job market wasn’t a problem, I doubt many would still be there
