Pros

If you find the right place and you just want to rest and vest there are some spots in the company you can do nothing and collect a check.

Cons

- C-Level, VPs and directors playing real life hunger games, making for a miserable work environment - refuse dozens of needed back-fills, layoff's to increase stock while doing 14 Billion dollar buy back at the same time - VP's wont listen & won't stand up to C-Suite b/c they are always scared to get canned and every leader is just trying to lay low to make it through one more vesting cycle - exec's can't focus on a roadmap to finish business basic's, const try's to buy out problems from snake oil selling 3rd party which solutions don't work - Engineer's under marketing org, CMO has leadership skill of a McD's assistant manager - no promotions - no reason to try hard, bonus and stock are static whether you make them a billion dollars or 0 (unless you are L6+)(lol 150% bonus for working 80h weeks for a year will get you a few extra grand) - SLT thinks they are crushing it b/c subs are exploding (and sub's is what they care about not employee's) - forced out the good IC's that worked hard due to all of the above, mostly remaining are coasters - They don't even try to do the Magenta cool-aid BS anymore

Pros

Wireless service discount Decent vision insurance Co-workers

Cons

Leadership Scheduling Work/life balance Stress Broken everything - half of the tools and resources don’t work No room to grow your career anymore unless you suck up. If you’re blunt and honest you’ll be an outcast - they’ve fostered an environment where they only want cheerleaders. Constantly changing goal posts Frequent restructuring
