      Pros

      - Everyone is incredibly talented and helpful, if you have a question, there's always someone who jumps in to help with no judgement - Work is impactful, you get to see your contributions actually make a difference - Management is very competent and respectful, they give great feedback and reward high performers accordingly - Compensation is very good

      Cons

      - Oncall shifts can get incredibly hectic, engineers are usually put on 3 different rotations and the context switching causes lots of disruptions on normal projects - As a side effect of the complexity of the product, processes are often difficult and changes frequently. It can be quite challenging to implement even simple changes because of process overhead

      Pros

      - Remote Work - Great flexibility with working from other locations - Unlimited PTO - Competitive compensation - Great health benefits - Autonomy to choose your projects and work, minimal micro-management

      Cons

      - No 401K match (IBM does have some retirement contributions) - My org was very unstable and there was lots of restructuring / silent lay-offs/ firings that kept happening all year round. Constant pressure to perform - Very few people were driven and motivated. Many were simple coasting - IBM Acquisition is going to ruin the culture. Young, hip Mountain View tech company getting acquired by large legacy consulting company is a big cultural mismatch. Huge round of layoffs already done, expect more. Lot of voluntary exists since the acquisition announcement. Most people are not motivated enough anymore to work since pay, benefits, culture all will be eroded because of the acquisition. Not a lot of clarity on how the org will continue. Current leadership will not stay for long - Some of the senior leaders were un-inspirational and lack-lustre
