      Awesome work-life balance but employees are not very social

      Pros

      - The private offices are great - The tools used for development are awesome - Compensation is grateful - Work-life balance is a top concern of the company

      Cons

      I felt people are not very willing at talking and being social. As an intern I was expecting people to be more social and helpful. Don't get me wrong: my manager and tutors were awesome, but I can not say the same about the rest of my colleagues who did not even bother to learn my name.

      Big layoffs, reforms, and reorganizations are upfront, otherwise it won't survive

      Pros

      Company store, which you probably won't use for your-self, but your friends and relatives would love to take this advantage. Only if you have charismatic leader go there.

      Cons

      it WAS awesome place to work before ~2010. company is struggling now. competition, economy, and poor upper management leadership you may never make a good career there. if your team would have 20 members and all would be Nobel Prize geniuses, they all would get "average" on yearly calibration/review, they would never get promotion. To be "strong" you'll need to prove that you over-performed others. Stack options are insulting. Medical benefits WAS awesome before 2012. Now, if you have family, you have to pay $6500 before insurance start covering 100%. If you want to ruin your careers join MS, work 20 years, and get layoff with almost same level as you started. SICK company. Big layoffs, reforms, and reorganizations are upfront, otherwise it won't survive.
