Pros

They hire the best and coolest folks around for non-management roles. The company will likely continue to serve the best products and acquire additional ones.

Cons

Return to Office Mandates created atmosphere of fear and attrition. Managers increasingly becoming more merciless. Raises are rare and often rejected outright for the entire company. Poor performance tracking; high performers ignored while favoritism rules the promotion stream. The only people doing well are the Senior Managers and above; and hose willing to submit complete autonomy to shareholder value. Some staff feel enslaved to an increasingly “People Last” evolution, and are looking for a graceful way out. Everyone else is at risk of termination.

Pros

* I enjoyed the collaborative team culture. Everyone was supportive and willing to help each other. * The work-life balance was good, and the overall working environment was relatively low stress. * I had opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise products and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

Cons

* One area I felt could be improved was compensation growth. As my responsibilities and technical skills expanded, I was looking for opportunities that offered stronger career and compensation progression.
