Pros

good salary, good benefits , people are good especially the ones that came from Alcatel-Lucent. Work life balance. Good training opportunities.

Cons

On layoff streaks since 2017 (layoff silently). Good engineers/PMs mostly laid off. Resource pooling is the worst part. Most line managers don't care about his/her staff. Senior Leadership is in limbo. Most in fear of getting laid off. No promotion path . No salary increase for years. 401k was terminated. Hires young people and then add those to the layoff with senior people probably to dilute the age bias.

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
