Pros

Decent benefits overall. Unlimited vacation (subject to manager approval). First-hand involvement in the newest technology. Good workplace facilities. The team I worked on was filled with mostly great people who got a long & kept the place enjoyable on a personal level. Good work relationships are not easy to come by but this team was exceptional.

Cons

Lots of odd-hour calls (early AM, late PM sometimes past 11PM), makes work-life balance difficult & tough to disconnect from work - these aren't optional, its necessary when working closely with teams in Asia. Morale (at least in the US) is a roller-coaster, but hovers in the low. Some product teams feel restricted & unable to truly compete with the competition. Advancement & promotion has a clear path one day, then is fuzzy & timing is off on other days. It's tough to find a path to promotion even through straightforward conversations with management. Opportunities for individual development & education didn't seem to exist within the company. Strategy from Executives is a mixed-bag, but took a weird turn. Seems scattered, needs focus. Quality & supplier problems have become more consistent, which is concerning - customers are beginning to notice. The work of some disciplines isn't considered important when its inconvenient. If the results of your work are unpopular, a VP might yell at you in the middle of a meeting.

Pros

Absolutely love my team, people, culture, and work events. Genuinely I can't think of any cons. 3 days in-person, 2 days remote. Best work life balance ever, and great pay. Even intern benefits are amazing

Cons

None that I can think of

Pros

Good place to work overall, kind people. Generally competent practitioners

Cons

Company is very slow to change. Executive leadership does not care about employee work-life balance at all. Was routinely expected to be on calls as early as 6AM and as late as midnight on the same day. When I raised concerns about sustainability, I was put on a PIP
