Pros

Don’t need to work hard since manager doesn't care, technical skill is not important for IT roles. People stealing credits for work that they didn't do, and this behavior is encouraged by manager as long as you are the flatterers or liar. Managers know nothing about their own roles or their direct reports’; architect know nothing as long as he/she knows how to talk.

Cons

Poor management, there is a big gap since managers don't even know what employees are doing at the jobs. Managers never care who is the hard working person, because they like people who can talk rather than doing work! Only flatterers will get promoted, they made all fake reports to upper management. The management only care about is their own interest, should stay away!

Pros

Great coworkers to be around, great benefits, work-life balance was perfect before the middle management layoffs. Collaborating with teams is constant and helpful for the design process.

Cons

They cut the research team, relying on designs to take on that plus end-to-end products, which leaves to heavy work loads and late nights. Deadlines are rather quicker than usual since the reorg.
