Pros

Benefits are good. Lots of paid time off, flexible working conditions.

Cons

Upper management has no idea what it takes to make their product. Focus on competitors (Google) makes them scared to develop their own strategies.

No heading and no leadership.

Pros

The technical talent is impressive through out the organization. The products are great and always evolving.

Cons

There is a complete lack of leadership and accountability. Performers are ignored while excuse makers are promoted. Management has no idea what to do and demonstrates that through their constant inability to make decisions and set direction. Management is petty and not well organized. No unified message and no clearly stated objective. They have been deceptive at times.

Pros

Work/life balance is good, at least within my area. Not the case for certain parts of the company (eg Wall-E). Not a pressure cooker Pleasant colleagues, no visible in-fighting in 7 years with the company Remote work possible to negotiate

Cons

Compensation is ok, but on the low side for our domain. Make sure you negotiate hard at the time of hiring, because once on a track it is hard to achieve significant increase. Benefits used to be fantastic, but now have steadily been carved down to just average industry standards. Promotions are highly bureaucratic, take a very long time, and have minimal comp increases (+8% or less is not uncommon). The company does not incentivize employees to strive. At the end of the day, the only thing we care about is money. That's why we show up every day. Major attrition in US offices and no obvious effort to hire replacements. The general sense is that "leadership" is either indifferent or even favors attrition in the US as it helps free up cash. Any job that they can offshore to a low cost center (India), they will. No clear future. Between the cash crunch, the loss of talent and experience, no brand recognition despite once being the industry leader, and a leadership team that has not delivered on any of its stated goals in the last ~5 years, it feels like we're on a sinking ship. No inside info, just my hunches, but it feels like the company will be stripped down and sold off piece meal within another 5 years. No faith that the current executive team can guide us to a long term winning strategy.
