Pros

Great benefits and lots of training opportunities. Good company values. You can work with so many bright and open-minded people in different locations.

Cons

Priorities are always changing. The companies's bureaucratic decision-making process sometimes makes things very difficult. Work-life balance could be bad if you are in the engineering / product organization. Lots of reorgs.

Pros

Great people, smart people. With new CEO, maybe things will get back

Cons

Been a horrible last 3 years. Non-stop re-offs, new leadership that cut everyone and brought in new people who don’t know anything. No clear priorities, no leadership.
