Pros

Benefits, wellness reimbursement, stock options

Cons

First, managers are managers not because of talent but based on number of years in company. Zero technical knowledge and the best workaround to hide their incapability is to abuse team members to ensure people do not reach out to them. IDS is one such department, senior managers are busy in playing favourites and if you are not in the list no matter how good you are, you won’t get credit for your work. For good work, it’s the managers who did well, something going not as per expectations, you did wrong. You come with an idea, managers will take the credit and then ask their favourite people to work on it and you the original person is sidelined. Toxic culture.

Pros

The pay and benefits and that is it.

Cons

I have never worked anywhere that cared less about the humanity of its employees. Perhaps this is standard for tech - but the way I've been treated makes me feel like they are either looking for an excuse to fire me or want me to quit, and I've been here less than a year. Everyone is paranoid and gatekeeps information so they feel job security but then lashes out when you don't know enough to help them. This company needs to change everything if it wants to survive.
