      Pros

      Depending on the team, work/life balance can be fairly good.

      Cons

      Bureaucracy and politics - as in any other large company. You need to expect some resistance whenever you try to change any process. Things move slowly and you need to be very patience and very diplomatic. You need to be a great negotiator in order to get any brilliant idea you may have across. Promotions are granted as if you were in the military: it doesn't matter what you did - you need to patiently wait for your turn.

      Pros

      Relaxing culture. family first. Stock performance is generally good for the recent two years and huge benefit if you're eligible for ESPP. Stable product with large customer base means you get opportunity to work on project with real impact.

      Cons

      1. Blind push for AI and leadership expect unrealistic efficiency improvement 2. Layoff every year in Feb (2024, 2025, 2026) and sometimes can feel the tension in team 3. Legacy tech stack with isolated and fragile infrastructure. Developer friction is a real pain. You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025. 4. Hiring freeze in San Jose... just expect more layoff coming up + frequent meetings at night / early morning across regions
