Pros

* Comp is generally pretty solid by industry standards * Parts of the org are making a genuine effort to modernize

Cons

* Tons of bloat and bureaucratic red tape that can make it very difficult to get anything done * Fiefdoms run by people with misaligned incentives will often behave in an outright adversarial manner * Managers are often completely non-technical and grossly misjudge work as a result * The company is a patch work of various acquisitions, and much of the tech is barely maintained and non-standardized

Pros

Good people, decent middle management

Cons

Constant RIFs every three months, re-badging large group of people in spring 2026, management talks about things but it never seemed to trickle down. Stock down more than 50% since Feb. 2025.
