Pros

Great People, Salary and Culture. Free food and snacks. Most people are easy going and are determined to help you succeed no matter what.

Cons

Support Management doesn't listen. Performers get penalized by picking up the slack of others. Patterns of others are overlooked that are obvious. (e.g. case load gets high, mysterious sickness so cases can be re-distributed to others; rinse and repeated) -- Burnout factor is high due the above -- Cases are not distributed evenly (again performers get penalized) -- Processes are made up on-the-fly to appease situations, however NOT thoroughly thought out -- Processes are not enforced for everyone, even when on the same Team -- When you speak up about anything, you become a target Stay away from Support.

Pros

Smart, talented, and supportive colleagues. Interesting products and the opportunity to work on technology that impacts many customers. Good work-life balance in most teams. Collaborative culture with opportunities to learn from experienced peers. Strong brand recognition and valuable experience for your resume

Cons

Cons Recognition is lacking, especially for individual contributors. Strong performance and consistent delivery do not necessarily translate into career advancement, promotions, or meaningful salary increases. Growth opportunities appear limited for ICs, while management roles seem to receive a greater share of advancement and compensation opportunities. After several years, many individual contributors may find themselves reaching a career plateau with few clear paths for progression. If career growth, promotion opportunities, and compensation advancement are important priorities, it may be worth evaluating other opportunities once you’ve gained experience here
