Pros

Nice facility, decent benefits, gym.

Cons

Management is horrible. Since they let the former president go, the company stopped caring about the people that work there. In 5 years, their stock went from $150 a share to $390 and they couldn't even afford to give their employees a decent raise, if any at all. Instead, they used Covid as an excuse. Meanwhile, the executives are giving themselves huge bonuses. Because you are pretty much on top of each other in tiny cubes with no walls, Covid spread through that place like wildfire. They have some departments spread so thin, it's nothing to work 15 hour days. And in many cases, the salaries are not in line with area average. I am so happy I left when I did. The company doesn't deserve to be as successful as it is.

Pros

The individual contributors are talented and professional people who do their best despite the circumstances. While the structure makes it hard to collaborate, the people themselves are generally nice and easy to work with on a personal level.

Cons

The company has become a hollowed-out environment where you are treated as a cog in a machine rather than a valued professional. Any sense of community has been replaced by deep-seated anxiety fueled by restructuring and a mass exodus of the company's best talent. Management’s style feels increasingly unethical, as they frequently dangle promises of career growth as a motivational tactic, only to never follow through. Even with the mandate to return to the office, the workplace remains a soulless collection of silos where you sit in a cubicle just to communicate via Teams, with virtually no face-to-face leadership. It is a draining and shady atmosphere where employees pay the price for poor financial management through stagnant, low pay and a total lack of genuine transparency.
