Pros

Big company with many different groups. If you are assertive, you can try out many different things. But there are many people who get stuck doing a single task. Over time, the value of that task decreaces until the next riff ... then you are out of luck. The culture and benifits is better than any other place that I have worked at. For the most part good ideas win against senior staff flexing their influence.

Cons

Possible to get lost in the crowd. There are many people who are more politically connected that will go farther than those that are not. Also the treatment from management is largly dependent on the profitability of your group at the time.

Individual contribution is awarded. Promotion opportunities are provided. Benefits are awesome.

Individuals that don’t contribute are not penalized. Occasional instability but not for hard working knowledgeable people.

Team has reduced to 1/3 of original size in less than 2 years, but BU is mostly hiring in India Refuses to hire externally in US (only internal reqs) to fill roles lost from attrition, instead management dumps responsibilities on rest of team members (with no pay raise to match) Management refused to address 2025 layoffs, employee morale is very low Limited mobility and (capped) yearly performance bonus Restructured profit sharing to effectively be a pay cut (-7%) Unclear job description, constantly changing priorities, management is out of touch with employees Innovation isn't emphasized, new products are mostly IP re-use Employee burn-out common Definite decline in work culture since 2023 RSU vesting schedule is bad (4 years)
