Pros

Good benefits and they provide a lot of support for employees. Most of the people are great to work with.

Cons

It is very political and your peers are not your friends. Corporate restructuring happens often and many employees think of themselves before others. Some people will be willing to throw you under the bus for a gain in their careers, secure their position, or cover up their failing. This happens too often and if you are the type of person that tries to help the company or think long term you will not last long.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

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
