Pros

They have a big campus. Seems pretty hard to get laid off. Work life balance is important. It’s possible to grow in your career if you are proactive.

Cons

Crackdowns on return to work and flexible schedule. Feels like management makes poor decisions and treats engineers like they are hourly. Not a lot of truly creative work being done, would have to go to another company. They don’t expect much from you but the pay also reflects that. You can’t get a raise without moving to a new role,

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
