Pros

Awesome benefits with high bonus for qualified people. Lots of talented engineers with great backgrounds. Lots of benefits and if it works for you you would never leave.

Cons

Highly political, white people with no mathcing educational qualifications for competitive positions make it to the top. You will never survive if you are not political. I tried to just keep doing what I do ignoring politics and i was all the way told that I was doing great but later i was affected badly by a highly political manager.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Cared more about building a program to attract interns than future employees.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
