Pros

-Great building/facilities -Amazing users of the product -Good salary/benefits -Great cafeteria in the pre-COVID days

Cons

-In my opinion, a toxic culture in the UX Group -In my opinion, poor UX leadership -Many people I speak with on the UX team have very low morale -In my opinion, the people with any real UX skills or a moral compass ran for the exit over the past 3 years. I have been to a lot of awkward goodbye parties -It feels to me like we stopped hiring people with actual UX experience and now bring on engineers and offer them a few classes in UX instead. Not the best system in my opinion. -

The values are do the right thing and think long term - hard to get better than that. Work life balance is also quite good.

Software only, not much hardware. Limited ambition among coworkers.
