Pros

Seriously though, one of the VPs called me personally to tell me there were a round of lay-offs and I would be effected. They paid us till the end of the month and THEN gave us (a generous) severance. They even set us all up with a company that specified in helping find people jobs (and professionally re-did my resume) and allowed people access to their work computer for the rest of the month in case they needed Word or something similar.

Cons

I mean they DID let me go, which kind of stunk... but I'm not really angry.

Pros

Brand name. Ok benefits and salary. Voluntary Time Off.

Cons

Too much annoying bureaucracy. Your tenure at the company dictates how valuable your ideas are instead of its merit. Huge technical debt and age old technical stack. Code takes few hours to compile and is terrible. Most of the developers are fresh grads or been with the company for an extensive period of time. Engineering executives are non-technical but have been with the company for a long time. Lot of QA folks have been promoted to Director and Sr. Directors as they did a good job buttering up the executives. Too much title inflation in Product and Engineering. Hectic work life balance in San Francisco HQ. Change in Direction of the Product and Reorgs happen almost every few weeks. Mediocre developers keep on changing groups in the Open Opportunity Market and still survive.

Pros

They pay well. Looks good on your resume. There are some very brilliant people here. There are snacks. The offices are nice.

Cons

I was sexually harassed by my direct manager (who later tried to have me written up for inappropriate conduct). I was repeatedly harassed by my next manager for years. He would belittle me and chastise me, call me out for doing something wrong even though I was the top seller. HR did nothing when I came to them, the head of the department said I "stressed him out" to hear about these problems.
